\n\tIn 1990, President George H.W. Bush created an immigration system called Temporary Protected Status, codifying a principle that has been part of America\u2019s ideals since its founding: This country is supposed to be a refuge for people who have nowhere else to go. This week, that system is beginning to end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Monday, more than 300,000 Haitian immigrants lost their TPS designation, meaning they can no longer legally live and work in the United States. Donald Trump\u2019s administration \u2014 top adviser Stephen Miller, in particular \u2014 have been working to end TPS for months, securing a key Supreme Court decision in late June that said the designation could be stripped from Haitians, Syrians, and other groups who have used it for decades to start new lives in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal courts that had previously blocked Trump from ending the TPS program did not have the jurisdiction to do so, clearing the way for Trump to start stripping protections from various immigrant groups. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito argued that the TPS program\u2019s original language did not account for judicial review of when it could be started or ended.<\/p>\n

\n\tHaitians have been eligible for TPS since 2010, when the country suffered a massive earthquake that killed over 300,000 people. Trump attempted to end this TPS designation in his first term, but the process was hung up in court proceedings until Joe Biden took office. In his second term, Trump pushed through the courts, despite the fact that the State Department \u2014 even under Trump \u2014 has repeatedly advised that Haiti\u2019s ongoing political instability and consistent gang violence represent a significant threat to anyone traveling to the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe have been hearing from our Haitian neighbors about the devastation that the community is about to face,\u201d Murad Awawdeh, the president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, tells Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cUnfortunately, there is no other option for these people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHaitian communities around the country will be the first to feel the loss of the system, and are bracing themselves for widespread raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In New York City, where around 40,000 Haitian immigrants live, including in the vibrant Caribbean neighborhood of Flatbush, ICE has already been spotted making reconnaissance trips around the area, according to Awawdeh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cEverything that makes New York, New York is being attacked in this moment,\u201d Awadeh says. \u201cWe are all going to be worse off for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Trump administration has specifically persecuted Haitians living in Springfield, Ohio, repeatedly spreading racist lies during the 2024 campaign that those immigrants were abusing pets. In his ruling, Alito admitted that the president and his proxies had used \u201cheated language\u201d when calling Haiti a \u201cshithole country,\u201d suggesting that Haitians had AIDS, and peddling a lie that they were eating pets. Ultimately, Alito concluded that none of those statements were \u201covertly racial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe TPS program was designed to protect certain immigrant groups that could face physical danger or persecution if they returned to their home countries. Haitians are the Trump administration\u2019s first target, but TPS is also expected to end for Syrian refugees and then Salvadorian immigrants in the coming weeks and months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe TPS program is the backbone of many immigrant communities. When people lose that status, they could face immediate deportation \u2014 and the consequences could devastate the economies and industries that rely on their labor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis moment is where most people are going to realize the contributions of our immigrant communities,\u201d Awadeh says. \u201cWhen they go to the hospital and they only have one nurse, when they can\u2019t find a home health aid, when construction workers start disappearing en masse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSome Republican lawmakers have even broken with their party over the end of TPS, particularly in South Florida, which has a large Haitian immigrant population.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe don\u2019t see any difference in the political situation in Haiti,\u201d Republican Congressman Carlos Gim\u00e9nez said last week. \u201cLike I said, some people in the administration seem to think that somehow you say TPS is a bad word. It\u2019s not a bad word. It\u2019s there for a reason. And Haiti and Venezuela are the prime examples of why TPS was established in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut none of this has swayed the administration. \u201cThe Biden Administration weaponized TPS as a backdoor amnesty to flood the country with millions of unvetted migrants \u2014 and that loophole is finally closed,\u201d the Trump administration said in a statement after the Supreme Court decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAwadeh says that the most important thing families can do is actively prepare for enforcement: contact immigrant groups and trusted immigration lawyers, know their rights, and make plans for how they will react if family members are arrested or detained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tThe Trump administration has made it clear that they eventually want to end the system entirely. Awadeh says this is the end result of years of broken immigration policy by both Republican and Democratic leaders.\u00a0\u201cThe reality that we find ourselves in is that there is no pro-immigrant party in this moment,\u201d he says. \u201cOftentimes you see Republicans say the horrific things but the Democrats put those things into law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat this means is that even a change in administration may not bring back the protections that immigrants have enjoyed for decades. Trump\u2019s changes, like so many others he has made, could be permanent. Still, Awadeh thinks that the better lives so many Haitians have created here will continue to exist through the bonds they have already formed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYes it\u2019s deflating, yes it\u2019s fucked up, yes it\u2019s incredibly gut wrenching \u2014 it\u2019s incredibly hard to speak to people who are losing their livelihood,\u201d he says. \u201cBut our communities have been resilient forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
