"Haitian immigrants living in New York face a looming deadline as thousands are set to lose their temporary protected status (TPS) in the coming weeks. TPS was granted to Haitians following a devastating 2010 earthquake that ravaged their homeland, allowing them to remain in the US without fear of deportation. However, with the US Department of Homeland Security announcing the end of TPS for Haitians, many are now facing an uncertain future, including the possibility of deportation back to their home country. As the deadline draws near, advocates are urging lawmakers to take action and provide a pathway to citizenship for these individuals, who have built lives and families in the US."
