Overview:
National and local Haitian leaders are urging TPS holders not to panic after the Supreme Court ruling, instead calling for organized action to pass Senate protections and pursue permanent residency pathways.
Less than 48 hours after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, Haitian leaders across the country are trying to shift the community’s mood from panic to preparation.
The message from national advocacy groups and organizers on the ground is urgent but clear: do not make fear-based decisions. Prepare and pressure Congress.
