New York Attorney General Letitia James led a coalition of 18 state attorneys general in filing an amicus brief opposing the Trump administration's attempt to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants. The TPS program protects individuals from unsafe conditions in their home countries. The coalition argues that ending TPS would endanger lives, disrupt families, and negatively impact local economies. With over 5,400 TPS holders in New York City alone, the brief emphasizes their contributions to the community, while criticizing the administration's disregard for the current socio-political struggles in Haiti.
Revoking Haitians' legal immigration status that has kept them safe with their families in the U.S. is cruel and dangerous... without them, New York—and this nation—would not be the same.
The coalition argues that eliminating TPS for Haitian immigrants would put them in danger, tear families apart, and hurt local economies.
American policy should prioritize humanity and the safety of all individuals regardless of their nationality.
The administration's actions disregard the nation's worsening conditions, as Haiti faces ongoing political turmoil and humanitarian crises.
