Summary
USCIS issued a late-Friday directive extending work authorization for Haitian immigrants with Temporary Protected Status until July 24, averting an immediate lapse that had been due last Friday.
The 2-week extension followed a June Supreme Court ruling that gave the federal government authority to end humanitarian protections for up to 1.3 million immigrants.
Haitian beneficiaries received more time than immigrants from six other designated countries, who got only a 1-week reprieve, while federal court challenges continue.
In Coldwater and nationwide, the move offers brief relief to Haitian families and employers that had been bracing for sudden job losses and legal uncertainty.
