Moskowitz Responds to Supreme Court Decision on Haitian TPS

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D-FL-23) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court, in Mullin v. Doe, cleared the way for the Trump Administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from roughly 350,000 Haitian immigrants, many of whom live and work in South Florida.

The statement can be found below:

“Today’s decision is a failure of judgment that puts roughly 350,000 Haitians at risk of deportation to a country our own State Department says is too dangerous to visit. It’s wrong, and it’s not smart policy. Haitian TPS holders are legal workers who support our health care system, our infrastructure, and our economy in South Florida. Deporting them to a country in a declared state of emergency means fewer caregivers, higher costs, and lives at risk. I urge the Administration to reverse course and work with Congress on a lasting solution.”
