The federal government terminated Temporary Protected Status for Haiti on July 27, ending legal protections and work authorization for an estimated 40,000 Haitians in New York state. As the school year approaches, families are not only buying supplies but taking concrete steps to prepare for possible detention or family separation, according to the New York Immigration Coalition. Support workers report Haitian families skipping doctor's appointments and grocery trips, a sharp drop in summer program enrollment, and some students deciding not to enroll in school at all. New York City's Department of Education says it will not change its existing protocols barring immigration agents from entering schools without a warrant, though it has not issued specific guidance for families who lost TPS.
