"Some were scheduled to end as soon as last weekend while others will be phased out early next year. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump moved to terminate the legal status and work permits of nearly 270,000 Venezuelans as well as Haitains enrolled in the TPS program and urged them to self-deport. But a San Francisco federal judge on Friday put the action on hold."
"His personal goal, Villa said, was to send as much money as possible back home and eventually, start his own trucking business. Now, he's not so sure how long that will last. From her home in Plantation, Maria Elena Hernandez, who came to South Florida from Nicaragua years ago, wondered why she will soon be losing her right to live and work in the United States after steadily toiling as a custodian cleaning and sanitizing classrooms and offices at a local university for many years."
Thousands of immigrants in South Florida face legal and economic uncertainty after the Trump administration moved to revoke Temporary Protected Status for multiple nationalities. Day laborers like Jorge Villa fear losing income and the ability to send remittances back to Venezuela. Longtime workers such as Maria Elena Hernandez, a custodian from Nicaragua, risk losing the right to live and work despite having kept public spaces sanitized during the pandemic. The administration announced plans to terminate TPS and work permits for Haitian and Venezuelan beneficiaries and urged self-deportation, while a San Francisco federal judge temporarily halted the Venezuelan and Haitian terminations.
