Trump Immigration Crackdown Hits Another Milestone
Around 21,000 Haitian TPS holders worked as caregivers and nursing assistants, and their loss has forced layoffs and strained care for about 77,000 patients.
- On July 27, Jawonio, a nonprofit facility in New York, terminated contracts for nearly two dozen Haitian caregivers after the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status , removing their work authorization and triggering a 7% staff reduction.
- The Trump administration cited 'improving conditions' in Haiti as justification for ending the program, though the country remains among the most unstable in the Western Hemisphere, with no elections held since 2016.
- Richie Rosen, a 43-year-old with Williams syndrome, lost his longtime aide Tassy, whom his mother Sharon Rosen described as 'like family' to her son who never got to say goodbye.
- Healthcare providers warn that losing experienced staff disrupts care for vulnerable residents, while the Department of Homeland Security defended the decision, stating the program was 'used as a defacto amnesty program.'
- Republican Congressman Mark Lawler, representing Rockland County's estimated 11,000 Haitians, is working with local groups to find alternative legal statuses as healthcare providers struggle to fill critical staffing positions.
