New York City Forced To Dump Dozens Of Haitian Employees After Court Ruling Ends Temporary Protected Status

Democrat-run New York City is dismissing Haitian workers after federal courts ordered the Trump administration’s efforts to terminate their Temporary Protected Status could continue.

The city was legally compelled to separate from affected Haitian city employees who lost their work authorization, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a Friday statement. The Department of Homeland Security’s termination of the workers’ Temporary Protected Status (TPS) took effect following a June Supreme Court decision in Mullin v. Doe which lifted the final legal barrier, The Associated Press reported.

“The City of New York was forced by federal law, as recently decided by the Supreme Court, to review the work authorization of Haitian TPS holders and separate from any employees who have not established alternative paths to legal work,” Mamdani said. The mayor went on to offer free legal help for those Haitians and said city staff would walk them through their options.

U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, a Biden appointee, removed the legal block of the termination order Wednesday.

“he Court’s Order, which had stayed the effective date of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Termination of the Designation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status … pending judicial review, is no longer in effect,” the order said.
