Haitian TPS holders face anxiety despite last-minute work authorization extension
Jul 15, 2026 · New York, NY, Haiti
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services extended work authorization for approximately 350,000 Haitian immigrants with Temporary Protected Status by 14 days to July 24, following the Supreme Court's decision in June to allow the Trump administration to terminate Haiti's TPS designation. Despite the extension, many employers have already suspended employees without pay and issued notices telling workers not to return, citing the impending end of TPS protections. Community advocates and healthcare workers express deep anxiety about imminent deportations to Haiti, which is experiencing escalating violence and a humanitarian emergency.
