In moments of uncertainty, our community needs clear information from trusted sources.
Many Haitian families across the United States are trying to understand what the recent Supreme Court decision means for their Temporary Protected Status (TPS), their work authorization, their families and their future. This is not a moment to rely on rumors, rushed decisions or fear-based advice. It is a moment to get informed, speak with trusted legal support and make decisions with care.
At C2C Haïti, we are not an immigration law organization, and we are not giving legal advice. We are sharing these resources because we are part of this community, and we believe Haitian families deserve information that helps them take the next right step with dignity.
Based on the current information available, TPS and work authorization remain valid while the case returns to a lower federal court. This means affected individuals should not stop working because of fear or confusion.
If you are a TPS holder, please speak with a trusted immigration attorney as soon as possible. Do not sign any document you do not understand. If something is not written in your language, ask for it to be explained before signing. Do not make decisions based only on social media posts, forwarded messages or advice from people who are not qualified to guide you.
This situation is serious, but panic can make people vulnerable to mistakes and scams. The safest next step is to get accurate guidance from people who understand immigration law.
If you or someone you know needs help, these resources may be a good place to start:
NYC Immigration Legal Support Hotline
1-800-354-0365
Free, confidential and available in your language
Haitian Response Initiative, New York
718-940-2200, extension 1 for Haitian Creole
Massachusetts Access to Counsel
508-505-4588
Please share these numbers with family members, church groups, community organizations, workplaces and anyone who may need support.
When people are afraid, there are always others who try to take advantage of that fear. Be cautious of anyone who promises guaranteed results, pressures you to act immediately or asks for money without clear documentation.
A trustworthy legal process should give you room to ask questions and understand what is happening. You have the right to know what you are signing, who is helping you and what steps are being taken on your behalf.
This is also a moment for people who want to stand with Haitian families to take action.
You can call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask your senators to vote YES on Senate Bill S4814, which would extend TPS for Haitians for three years.
Advocacy matters because policy decisions affect real families, real jobs, real homes and real communities. A phone call may feel small, but collective action has power when people use their voices together.

We encourage families to review the guide, save the legal support numbers and share the information with anyone who may be affected.
C2C Haïti will continue sharing trusted resources as updates become available. Our goal is to help our community stay informed, avoid fear-based decisions and connect with the right support.
If this information can help someone in your family, church, workplace or neighborhood, please share it. In moments like this, clear information is one of the ways we care for each other.
We stand with our Haitian community in truth, dignity and support.
