Haitian TPS holders face deportation risk as NY protests, healthcare warnings grow
Jul 27, 2025·Location: New York, NY
Country of origin: Haiti

Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, about 350,000 Haitians lost their legal status as of July 27, including roughly 40,000 in New York state and 5,400 in New York City. A month later, healthcare organizations representing nurses, home aides and senior care facilities say the loss of staff has destabilized their workforce and could jeopardize patient care. On Aug. 28, more than 150 people protested in Foley Square demanding amnesty for those who lost status, while the Trump administration is offering departing TPS holders $2,600 and a free one-way flight to leave voluntarily.
