More than half a million Haitians in the United States will face the threat of deportation in a few months, after the Trump administration revoked an extension of Temporary Protected Status that had been put in place by the Biden administration.

The decision means Haitians would lose work permits and could be eligible to be removed from the country by August.

"We are not criminals… we are law-abiding citizens," community members said at a press conference in Little Haiti.
