TPS for Haitians - Haiti at Forefront of TPS Immigration Trial in New York
NY State Senator David Carlucci upset Trump wants to end TPS for Haitians
The rate and extent of Haiti's recovery after a devastating earthquake is at the center of a trial in New York City that will determine if the Trump administration can end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals.
The case centers around the special status granted to roughly 50,000 people from Haiti to live and work in the U.S. temporarily after the earthquake in 2010. In addition, the Center for Migration Studies estimates that Haitian TPS holders have 27,000 children who were born on U.S. soil.
At the trial, being held in New York, the focus Wednesday was on emails between U.S. officials.
