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.
