  "account": "A Long Island mother fears her disabled son will lose his Haitian caregiver after their temporary work permits expired. Jean, a caregiver for 23-year-old Michael, was laid off July 2025 when his temporary protected status (TPS) expired. Michael, nonverbal, needs constant care and Jean provided it. The Trump administration removed TPS for Haitians in June 2025, causing 350,000 Haitians to lose their work status and face deportation. The healthcare industry, dependent on Haitian workers, has suffered greatly, with Mancuso worried about her son’s future. Advocacy groups push for policies to secure the workforce, but the Senate has blocked extending TPS for Haitians.",
