It's like firing your best worker for no apparent reason': Why this New York family is dreading a looming deadline

A New York family is bracing for a looming deadline that could strip away the work permits supporting its home-care arrangement, after a Supreme Court ruling last month upheld the Trump administration’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians. Sabine French said her 91-year-old mother in Queens may lose the caregiver who has helped for the past three years, as work permits issued to hundreds of thousands of Haitians under TPS are set to expire soon. French described the caregiver as a Haitian woman in her 60s who arrived in the U.S. after the 2010 earthquake and communicates with French’s mother in Creole. French, an immigration advocate, said revoking TPS protections would effectively remove her mother’s vital support despite the elder care workforce concerns raised for months by industry leaders. The administration argued TPS was always intended to be temporary, while French said the impact is disproportionate.
