“The end of U.S. work authorizations for hundreds of thousands of Haitians is threatening to leave short-staffed nursing homes, hospitals and home-care agencies with even fewer caregivers,” Bloomberg reports.
“Employment permits for more than 350,000 people covered by Temporary Protected Status could begin expiring Friday after last month’s Supreme Court ruling allowed the Trump administration to end programs for Haitian and Syrian nationals. The exact timeline may depend on further action by immigration authorities and courts, but employers have little choice but to begin removing affected workers from their payrolls.”
The Guardian: Trump immigration cuts could worsen U.S. caregiver shortage, experts say.
