Caribbean-American Democratic Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke said on Thursday that she was “devastated and infuriated” over President Trump’s plans to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 1 million immigrants from multiple countries.
Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn, said these immigrants are seeking refuge from political violence, war, natural disasters, and extreme weather events due to the impacts of climate change.
