Description

CBS Miami May 25, 2021 Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is making a stop in South Florida on Tuesday. He is scheduled to meet with Haitian community leaders to discuss the new extension of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. TPS is a form of humanitarian relief that can be granted when it is deemed unsafe to return to one's home country. On Saturday, the Biden Administration approved the new TPS, reversing a Trump administration decision to end their status. The move now allows about 100-thousand Haitians to apply and remain in the U.S. lawfully.
