特朗普政府终止海地移民工作授权引发混乱

特朗普政府终止了海地移民的临时保护身份（TPS）项目，导致约35万海地人失去合法工作授权。1这些海地人自2010年以来一直在美国合法居住和工作。1美国最高法院于2024年6月25日裁定支持政府立场，为该项目的终止扫清法律障碍。1

移民局曾在下级法院做出决定前短期延长工作许可，但周一突然停止了延期，导致数千名海地移民及其美国雇主陷入混乱和恐慌。1下级法院通常需要32天才能做出决定。1与此同时，移民局正在鼓励海地人申请2600美元支票以购买"免费回程航班"。1

工作授权的丧失对这些移民的生计构成严峻挑战。1据报道，这些工作者月收入约5000美元，其中需支付2400美元用于租金，并每月还需汇款300美元回国。1海地国内局势持续恶化，近150万人因帮派暴力流离失所，自今年1月以来已有2300多人丧生、1100多人受伤。1

The Trump administration has terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants, stripping approximately 350,000 Haitian nationals of their legal work authorization in the United States 1. The Supreme Court ruled on June 25, 2024, in favor of the government's position, allowing the TPS program to end 1. Haitian immigrants have maintained legal residency and employment in the United States since 2010 1.

The abrupt cessation of work permit extensions has generated significant turmoil for both affected workers and their employers 1. Immigration officials had previously granted short-term extensions of work authorization pending a decision from a lower court, which typically requires 32 days to render judgment, but the extensions were unexpectedly halted on Monday, immediately suspending employees' eligibility to work 1. Workers facing displacement earn approximately $5,000 monthly, with $2,400 going toward rent and $300 sent back to Haiti each month 1. Immigration authorities are encouraging Haitian nationals to apply for $2,600 checks to purchase "free return flights" 1.

The timing of the work authorization loss occurs amid a humanitarian crisis in Haiti, where gang violence has displaced nearly 1.5 million people 1. Since January 2024, more than 2,300 Haitians have been killed and over 1,100 wounded 1, with more than half of approximately 120,000 people in Haiti requiring humanitarian assistance 1.
