Maria worked cleaning schools in Florida for $13 an hour and received roughly $900 every two weeks. She and her 11-year-old son share a house with five families and used the wages for rent, electricity, a cellphone and groceries. In August she lost her job after the Trump administration ended the humanitarian parole program that provided work permits for Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans. She fears detention and deportation and had only $5 in her bank account.
