Summary
More than 330,000 Haitians in the US are set to lose legal work and residency protections after the Supreme Court backed the Trump administration’s TPS termination effort in a 6-3 ruling.
About 13,000 Haitian TPS holders work as nursing assistants, caring for roughly 65,000 patients a day, and unions say nursing homes and other service employers already struggling with vacancies face sharp disruption.
Homeland Security says TPS was never meant to become permanent and argues Haitians should leave or seek other legal status, even though there is no direct path from TPS to a green card and asylum approvals have fallen below 5%.
Haitian immigrants and advocates say deportations would send families to a country the US still flags with a do-not-travel advisory, while the UN continues to warn of violence and instability there.
