The Brief The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for many Haitians, arguing the program was always intended to be temporary. Advocates and immigration attorneys warn the change could affect hundreds of thousands of workers and employers across the U.S., including nearly 96,000 workers in Florida. Florida Haitian TPS RollbackWhat we know:Temporary Protected Status was first extended to Haiti following the country's devastating 2010 earthquake, which killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced many more. South Florida is home to the nation's largest Haitian community, with an estimated 96,000 Haitian migrants living and working in the state under TPS. Demonstrators hold signs reading "TPS Holders Make the US Stronger" during a rally supporting Temporary Protected Status holders.
