After Recent Visit to Haiti, Congressman Wants TPS for Haitians Restored

The ruling ends work authorization for up to 350,000 Haitians while a racial discrimination claim continues in court.

  • U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes lifted a stay earlier this month, ending Temporary Protected Status for nearly 350,000 Haitians in compliance with a June Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Trump administration to terminate their legal protections.
  • The Department of Homeland Security revoked Haiti's TPS designation, claiming conditions in the country have improved, though the State Department maintains a 'do not travel' advisory due to gang violence and kidnappings.
  • Roughly 7,000 of New York's 40,000 Haitian TPS holders work as nursing assistants and direct caregivers; Stephen Hanse, president of the New York State Health Facilities Association, warned the policy will 'destabilize an already fragile long term care workforce.'
  • Families are preparing for potential detention or separation, according to Murad Awawdeh, president of the New York Immigration Coalition, as some Haitian families have begun avoiding schools and public spaces due to deportation fears.
  • Attorney Geoffrey Pipoly stated that litigation regarding equal protection claims continues despite the court's refusal to issue a new stay, keeping the legal battle over termination procedures active.
