Immigration enforcement has ramped up rapidly across the country.
For almost four hours in late June, more than 100 residents addressed commissioners with concerns about the role of Miami police in federal immigration enforcement.
Several noted the urgent need for the city to bring some relief to immigrant families, as approximately 158,000 Haitian TPS holders live in South Florida (nearly half of all Haitian TPS recipients in the country).
The Senate approved an additional $70 billion for immigration enforcement in June of 2026.
Congress still has the power to prevent the unnecessary humanitarian and economic crisis looming, and should quickly move to extend Haitian TPS and provide stability for families.
