TPS Termination Shakes Home Care | Albany News

Haitian home care workers are being abruptly forced out of their jobs as Temporary Protected Status ends, devastating an already strained healthcare system and leaving vulnerable patients without familiar, trusted caregivers. With many having cared for years — knowing routines, families, even tea preferences — the sudden loss is deeply personal and disruptive. The Supreme Court’s decision, spurred by former Secretary Kristi Noem, cuts work authorization for thousands, despite TPS not offering citizenship. Experts call it cruel, warning it risks patient safety and worsens staffing shortages nationwide, where immigrants make up a large share of direct care roles. Unions like 1199SEIU are stepping in to support workers while demanding federal policy stability, as agencies scramble to keep essential care alive amid relentless upheaval.
