The United States Supreme Court last month allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians, affecting thousands.
But in New Orleans, Haitian culture has been embedded for over 200 years.
Pierre was raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts after his parents fled Haiti to Venezuela before arriving in the United States in 1988.
Tulane University Professor Laura Adderley says New Orleans' culture was shaped in part by Haitian immigrants and disagrees with the Supreme Court's ruling.
Pierre says he comes across Haitian people in New Orleans sporadically and worries for those that are undocumented.
