Protests in the Streets After Trump's Ending of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian Refugees
November 21, 2017 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
On November 20, Trump announced his regime is ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians who were unable to safely return to their homeland because of devastating earthquakes and hurricanes. This means some 60,000 Haitians now in the U.S. could be forcibly deported or forced into the shadows by July 2019. People in different cities are taking to the streets in protest.

The Trump administration has once again attacked our immigrant communities by announcing the termination of TPS for Haitians. We just shut down the entrance to Mar-A-Lago to protest this injustice! pic.twitter.com/BfjpcIQmy8
