The only source that directly addresses the individual's TPS status says USCIS terminated his TPS in July 2022, citing DHS. That source is unrated, low-credibility, and appears to derive from the same Fox/DHS reporting as the claim, so confidence is limited; no source contradicts the claim.

The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

What was said

… He had 17, over 17, criminal convictions in just a two year span in the state of Massachusetts. He was initially admitted to the United States back in 2013. That would be under Barack Obama, and was granted temporary protective status. His TPS was later revoked in 2022. We witnessed him being arrested by ICE in Boston. That was at the beginning of January 2025, one that was right after President Trump got inaugurated, January 22nd, 2025, just days into the president's administration. Why did it take so long? …

What we found

Supports. An unrated regional outlet reports that DHS confirmed USCIS terminated the individual's TPS in July 2022, after the Obama administration granted it in February 2013.[3]

Context. The DHS and Fox-linked reporting on the deportation of the individual (Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles) does not separately verify the 2022 termination date, and the post's own account is not evidence.[4][5]

Context. Court and USCIS records on Haiti's TPS designation (extended in December 2022 at the country level) concern the country-wide designation, not this individual's status, so they neither confirm nor refute the individual-level termination.[1][2]
