Trump’s revoking protected status for Haitians shows “total disregard for people’s lives”

Some 300,000 Haitian immigrants in the US are living in fear after the Trump administration moved to revoke their Temporary Protected Status, or TPS. The US government says they believe it’s safe enough for people to return to Haiti – a country that remains one of the most unstable places in the world. Earlier this week, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s move. Still, the fate of Haitian immigrants in the US remains uncertain, with their protected status set to expire early next year. France 24 spoke to Farah Larrieux, a Haitian immigrant living in Florida and the Chairperson of the Association of Miramar Haitian-American Residents and Business Owners. She says the Trump administration knows the situation is bad in Haiti, and the decision to send people back is “sad and cruel”.
