Temporary Protected Status

On Monday, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s pause on Temporary Protected Status for Haitians living in the United States. The move temporarily eased fears of deportation for nearly 350,000 people, including those in Spring Valley in Rockland County, home to one of New York’s largest Haitian communities.

On Monday, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked Temporary Protected Status for Afghans in the United States. That news could have lasting ramifications for the roughly 600 Afghans who call Vermont home.
