Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians is a devastating blow to hundreds of thousands of families who have built their lives in the United States and contributed to our communities for years. Despite the ongoing humanitarian, political, and security crisis in Haiti, the Court’s decision allows the administration to move forward with ending these critical protections.
Call your Senator now at (202) 224-3121 and ask them to co-sponsor S. 4814 to prevent mass detention and deportation of Haitian families.
The facts have not changed. Haiti remains unsafe. Haitian TPS holders are our neighbors, essential workers, business owners, parents, and faith leaders. They contribute an estimated $5.9 billion annually to the U.S. economy, pay taxes, and fill critical workforce shortages in healthcare, construction, hospitality, caregiving, and other essential industries. Ending TPS will not only separate families, it will also harm employers, local economies, and communities across the country.
Congress has the power to act. Earlier this year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the bipartisan H.R. 1689, which would extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. In the Senate, S. 4814, introduced by Senator Ed Markey and colleagues, authors legislation that would extend TPS for three years for Haitians.
