New York City Hall Dismisses Haitian Workers After Loss of Protected Status
NYTimes ^ | 08/08/2026

Posted on 08/08/2026 4:51:49 AM PDT by devane617

New York City is terminating the employment of Haitian city workers who have lost Temporary Protected Status, after a Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for President Trump to end humanitarian protections for Haitian immigrants, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Friday.

City officials said at least dozens of city workers were affected, but that number could rise to the hundreds. Under the Temporary Protected Status program, more than 350,000 people from Haiti and Syria were allowed to live and work across the United States while their home countries faced humanitarian disasters. President Trump has been working to end the program, as part of his administration’s sweeping crackdown on immigrant communities.

The work permits of Haitians with Temporary Protected Status expired on July 24, and the mayor said the city had little choice but to comply with federal law. “The City of New York was forced by federal law, as recently decided by the Supreme Court, to review the work authorization of Haitian T.P.S. holders,” he said in a statement.

Mr. Mamdani has tended to avoid directly antagonizing Mr. Trump, with whom he has had a surprisingly warm relationship. But after announcing the cuts, he took aim at Mr. Trump.

1st thing is, be careful of the source.

Anything coming out of that outlet needs triple verification IMO.

“Only President Trump has the power to restore T.P.S.,” Mr. Mamdani said. “The president should exercise his authority to benefit all New Yorkers and protect our economy.”

That’s not how this works, Mr. Mayor.

He really ought to familiarize himself with American laws and the constitution. Not a requirement for New York City voters, I understand, but this statement is beyond ignorant

Democrats are always upset to lose their slaves.

The Haitians like it and want to stay? The Democrat planation owners said exactly the same thing. You can look it up.

This is a win for Mamdani. He can blame Trump for the firings and then replace them with loyalists.

“This is a win for Mamdani. He can blame Trump for the firings and then replace them with loyalists.”

Finally!!!! Someone gets the point and the reason I posted this. Mandami would be raising hell if he didn’t want to go along. He sees this as an opportunity to replace Hatians with Muslims loyalists.

TPS is a program that never should have been implemented in the first place. President Trump is doing the correct thing - not only with Haitians, but others allowed into the US to take advantage of US largesse on a "temporary" basis:

Brian Murphy and Allison Burroughs are the two judges who blocked Trump's termination order for Ethiopians and Somalis.

Allison Burroughs: Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge in Boston, blocked the Somalia TPS termination on August 1, 2026

Brian Murphy: Biden-appointed judge, indefinitely extended a block on ending TPS for Ethiopians, a status that had expired in February 2026.

Does this mean an American citizen can get the job?
