New York City Begins Terminating Haitian Workers Following TPS Expiration
Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitians, New York City has begun dismissing municipal employees who no longer possess valid work authorization. The move has sparked widespread protests and fear within Haitian communities in South Florida and Ohio, as ICE reportedly prepares for large-scale deportation raids. Local leaders have condemned the dismissals as a humanitarian crisis.
