Overview
- The Supreme Court case, set for April 29, will consider the Trump administration’s bid to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians.
- Senior living providers LeadingAge Southeast and Sinai Residences filed a friend-of-the-court brief warning that ending TPS would disrupt daily care for older adults.
- The Department of Homeland Security moved last year to revoke Haitian TPS, but lower-court rulings kept protections in place for an estimated 330,000 to 353,000 people.
- The Migration Policy Institute estimates about 103,000 Haitians work in U.S. health care in roles like nursing assistants and home health aides, which providers say are already hard to fill.
- The administration argues Haiti is safe for return, while advocates cite gang violence and political collapse; TPS for Haitians began after the 2010 earthquake and was reaffirmed in 2021 during renewed turmoil.
