Haitians

Running Thursday through Sunday, the "Days of Action to Restore Haiti TPS" features over 20 coordinated events spanning seven states, including California, Florida, New York, and Massachusetts.

Haitians in the U.S. lost their Temporary Protected Status under Trump's immigration crackdown. Now facing deportation to a homeland wracked by gang violence, disease and extreme poverty, Haitians in Miami are meeting the moment with grief, anger, and courage.

They also announced a billboard campaign — one on I-95 in Miami and the other on the Selmon Connector in Tampa — to publicly call on Moody and fellow Republican Sen. Rick Scott to protect Haitian immigrants who recently lost Temporary Protected Status, or TPS.

The hundreds of thousands of Haitians who've lost their TPS shield against being deported to a country ruled by murderous gangs are in virtual hiding in cities like North Miami, where mothers "pray my children don't see me taken by ICE when I have to pick them up at school."

Disney+ abruptly canceled Marvel's Wonder Man season 2 shortly after its renewal, sparking outrage over the loss of rare, positive Haitian representation in the MCU. Miami-native and Haitian-American actor Bechir Slyvain spoke out about the cancellation's cultural impact amidst ongoing immigration upheaval.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the work permit extension on Friday, the same day it was supposed to expire for 350,000 Haitian TPS holders nationwide, including more than nationwide was set to expire on Friday.

The Democratic congresswoman said the nation's 350,000 Haitian TPS holders, including 113,000 in Florida, contribute $2.6 billion to our economy and pay more than $300 billion in state and local taxes.

South Florida community leaders and Democratic congressional candidates are urging the U.S. Senate to approve an extension of deportation protections for Haitians that passed the House on a rare bipartisan vote in April.

Elected leaders and others who support TPS for Haitians expressed outrage over the high court judges' decision that also included the loss of TPS for Syrian migrants in the U.S.

After decades of rooting for Brazil, many Haitian fans now face mixed loyalties as Haiti’s national team heads to its first World Cup in 52 years — where they will face the soccer powerhouse. At a time of chaos, tragedy and unrest in the nation, appearing on the biggest international sporting stage is a chance to show off its competitive and cultural spirit.

Just days after the U.S. Supreme Court heard argument for restoring Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, Democratic South Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Friday urged the nation's highest court to grant the extension of TPS.

When the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on the Trump administration's plans to stop shielding Haitians and Syrians from deportation, people from more than dozen other countries will pay close attention, perhaps none more than an estimated 200,000 from El Salvador.
