How will the ending of Temporary Protected Status affect immigrant communities in Florida?

Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians nationwide ended.

The move raises humanitarian questions. It also creates a host of economic and healthcare issues in Florida, which is home to the largest Haitian community in the country.

Renata Castro, an immigration attorney and founding member of “USA 4 ALL,” joined us on The Morning Show to discuss the fallout and impact on members of the immigrant community in Florida.
