The United States terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians on a Monday. The designation was originally granted following the 2010 earthquake, as Haiti was deemed too dangerous for a safe return.
In June, the US Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end the program for Haitians. This legal clearance paved the way for the recent termination of the status.
New York's Haitian community is now living in limbo and fear following the decision. Residents face uncertainty as the protections that allowed them to remain in the country are no longer in effect.
