Haitian caregivers lose work authorization as Trump ends TPS program

Aug 6, 2026 · Westchester, NY, Haiti

Cabrini nursing home in Westchester laid off seven Haitian caregivers after the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants, rendering them ineligible to work. The policy shift affects hundreds of thousands of TPS recipients nationwide and exacerbates existing healthcare worker shortages, with immigrants comprising 30% of direct care workers nationally and 60% in New York state. Healthcare facilities throughout New York report difficulty filling positions created by TPS terminations amid an ongoing long-term care workforce crisis.
