Empty pews and fear of ICE on Maryland’s Eastern Shore after TPS ends for Haitians

The senior pastor of the nondenominational congregation in Salisbury, Roosevelt Toussaint, said attendance at Sunday’s service dropped by more than half.
Among those affected: roughly 350,000 Haitians who have been living and working legally in the U.S. for years.
At Sunday’s service, the first since the expiry of TPS protections, Toussaint exhorted his congregants to persevere.
At a nearly empty barber shop in Salisbury, a Haitian on TPS ventured in for a haircut.
The United States initially gave TPS to Haitians following a devastating earthquake in 2010 and extended it several times since.
