As deportation protections end, Haitians confront fear and uncertainty

The ruling affects about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, and immigration lawyers expect quick enforcement as employers face new work-authorization risks.

  • Temporary Protected Status protections expired for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, following a Supreme Court ruling that allows the federal government to end the program for 13 countries.
  • Uthy, a 32-year-old Haitian native and aspiring doctor, has lived in the United States for three years under TPS, now facing potential deportation after the Supreme Court ruling eliminated her protections.
  • For Tampa Bay Haitian advocate Keto Nord, the expiration is deeply personal; Florida and New York host large Haitian populations while Florida manages roughly 3 million pending immigration cases, straining the court system.
  • Individuals losing TPS also lose work authorization, forcing many to apply for an Employment Authorization Document . Processing times for EAD applications reach up to six months, creating complications for employees and employers.
  • Immigration attorney Arturo Rios expects enforcement to begin quickly and warns many will seek asylum. "They may have no other option now, and that's just going to put more strain on an already overburdened immigration system," Rios said.
