Local politicians, community advocates and labor unions joined Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso at a “United with Haiti” rally Aug. 27 at Hillel Plaza in Flatbush, calling on the Trump administration to grant a two-year extension of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants.
In June, the Trump administration announced plans to end TPS for Haitians effective Sept. 2, 2025. The U.S. District Court in New York temporarily blocked the termination, ruling it unlawful and extending deportation protection through Feb. 2, 2026. The Department of Homeland Security has said it would appeal, leaving many TPS holders in limbo.
