Florida’s Nursing Homes Are Bracing for Life Without Haitian TPS Workers – Mother Jones

“Florida is home to one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing older adult populations, and demand for long-term care services continues to increase each year,” the letter reads. It describes “an exceptionally competitive labor market,” meaning that finding qualified workers has been challenging. “Any significant reduction in the available workforce would make it more difficult to serve current and new residents, causing a ripple effect that could overwhelm our local hospitals and the entire healthcare system.”…

Florida Republican says deporting Haitians with TPS would be ‘huge mistake’

Carlos Giménez, a Republican congressman from Florida, broke with the Trump administration on Sunday, calling on the White House to reconsider its push to eliminate temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitian migrants. 

Returning some 350,000 Haitians to their chaotic, dangerous homeland following the US supreme court’s ruling that the Trump administration can cut off temporary legal protections, would be a grave error, Giménez said...

Supreme Court allows Trump to end temporary protections for Haitians, Syrians - POLITICO

Immigrant rights advocates said that although the law requires the Homeland Security Department to consult with the State Department on the conditions in impacted countries before making decisions on TPS, then-Secretary Kristi Noem engaged in comically cursory consultations with State.  

In one such instance, State responded with a one-sentence message saying the department had no foreign policy concerns about Haiti just 53 minutes after an email asking for its input…

They Fled Maduro and Cheered His Downfall. But They Fear Deportations, Too. – Mother Jones

"Secretary Noem ended Temporary Protected Status for more than 500,000 Venezuelans and now they can go home to a country that they love," the spokesperson said. "[Deportation] Flights are not paused." (In 2025, the US government deported 14,310 Venezuelans back to their home country, according to a flight tracker initiative kept by Human Rights First.) 

Adelys Ferro, executive director of the Venezuelan-American Caucus, called on the Trump administration to restore TPS for Venezuelans. "This is not the right time to keep deporting law-abiding Venezuelan immigrants," she said. "All of these vulnerable people that have already been hunted, discriminated against, and victims of all of these xenophobic and racist immigration decisions are in more danger than ever before."…

Judge rules against Trump and extends deportation protections for 60,000 immigrants

In a sharply written order, Thompson said the administration had ended the migrant status protections without an "objective review of the country conditions" such as political violence in Honduras and the impact of recent hurricanes and storms in Nicaragua. 

If the protections were not extended, immigrants could suffer from loss of employment, health insurance, be separated from their families, and risk being deported to other countries where they have no ties, she wrote, adding that the termination of TPS for people from Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua would result in a $1.4bn loss to the economy. 

 "The freedom to live fearlessly, the opportunity of liberty, and the American dream. That is all Plaintiffs seek. Instead, they are told to atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood," Thompson said...

Trump's 'Shithole' Remark Comes Back To Haunt Him In New Immigration Lawsuit - TPM

A group of immigrants whose Temporary Protected Status was revoked by President Trump, and their U.S. citizen children, will file a class action lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday afternoon. Lawyers on the case tell TPM that the immigrant parents, many of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades, are arguing that the abrupt cancelation of their status was arbitrary and violates their right to due process. .....
