🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR HAITIAN TPS HOLDERS
As of August 5, 2026, the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti is now in effect.
If you are a Haitian TPS holder, this change may affect your immigration status and work authorization. While TPS protections have ended, you still have legal rights, and deportation is not automatic. You may have other legal options available, so it’s important to understand your rights and seek legal guidance as soon as possible.
If you are impacted:
• Consult a trusted immigration attorney immediately.
• Find a reputable legal service provider at iAmerica.org/legalhelp.
• If you’re a CIR member, contact our legal team at [email protected] for support and resources.
Haitian physicians and healthcare workers are essential to our hospitals, our patients, and our communities. One out of three Haitian TPS holders work in healthcare.
CIR stands in solidarity with our Haitian members and all immigrant healthcare workers. Immigrant rights are labor rights!
