Supreme Court Weighs Ending TPS for 350,000 Haitians, Threatening Elder Care Staffing
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 10
Summary
A Supreme Court ruling due by the end of the term could let the Trump administration revoke Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Haitian nationals living in the US.
Thousands of Haitians work as caregivers for ill and elderly Americans, making the case especially consequential for nursing homes and other long-term care providers.
Nursing-home operators and some Republican lawmakers warn that losing those workers could trigger a healthcare staffing crisis and disrupt care for seniors.
The decision is also expected to shape the status of migrants from Venezuela, Syria, El Salvador and other countries covered by the same protections.
