Haiti’s lifeline—remittances from Haitians in the U.S.—could be severed if the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, potentially deporting about 350,000 TPS holders and disrupting the remittance flow to roughly 750,000 Haitian households, which would deepen poverty, hunger, and displacement in a country already grappling with violence and severe flooding.
