Warren Statement on Trump Cutting TPS Protections for Haitians

Washington, D.C. –Followingnewsthat the Trump administration cut protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the United States with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:
“Donald Trump’s decision to rip away protections for Haitians who are legally in the United States is shameful. Haiti is not safe right now and Haitians with TPS are here legally after fleeing unfathomable violence and instability. These individuals have legal status and are actively contributing to our communities, something I’ve seen firsthand in Massachusetts. Revoking TPS for Haitians will harm up to half a million of our neighbors and devastate communities. The United States made a promise to these families, and the President should honor that promise and reverse this decision immediately.”
