Mayor Higgins Welcomes Court Decision Extending Haitian TPS Protection

Published on February 02, 2026

“I welcome and celebrate today’s court decision protecting Temporary Protected Status for Haitian families who have been living and working legally in our country. A last-minute termination would have created unnecessary disruption for workers, employers, schools, and neighborhoods, and this ruling provides much-needed stability while the case moves forward. Miami is a city of immigrants, built by immigrants, and our Haitian community is part of what makes our city strong.”
