South Florida immigration attorney Vanessa Joseph says Haitian immigrants are making inquiries to her office like never before, worried and fearful they may be forced to leave the U.S. after the Trump administration announced last week it’s terminating Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for 500,000 Haitians in early September.
“There’s great fear out there, but people should not wait until the last minute,” advises Joseph, an immigration attorney and city clerk of North Miami, where about one in three residents are of Haitian descent. “They really need to seek legal advice right now.”
