Haitian immigrants across the country received an eleventh-hour relief Friday as the government extended work authorizations for Haitians with temporary protected status.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that work permits for Haitian immigrants with the recently terminated legal status — granted to citizens of countries experiencing political violence, environmental disaster and other unsafe circumstances — will now expire on July 24 as a result of a court order. The update came on July 10, the original expiration date set for TPS holders’ work authorizations.
