BREAKING NEWS | TPS UPDATE

A federal judge has issued a court order temporarily halting the Trump administration’s effort to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals, protecting more than 350,000 Haitians from the immediate loss of legal status and work authorization in the United States.

U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes ruled that the termination could not move forward at this time, allowing Haitian TPS holders to remain lawfully present while the case proceeds through the courts.

TPS was originally designated due to extraordinary conditions in Haiti, including political instability, humanitarian crises, and ongoing security concerns. The ruling provides temporary relief, not a permanent resolution, and underscores the importance of continued advocacy and lawful protections for Haitian families, workers, and business owners who contribute meaningfully to communities across Long Island and the nation.

The Long Island Haitian Chamber of Commerce will continue to monitor developments and share verified updates impacting our community.

🇭🇹 222 Years of Haitian Independence 🇭🇹
January 1, 1804 — January 1, 2026

Today, we honor 222 years of Haitian independence — a legacy born from courage, resistance, brilliance, and an unbreakable spirit. Haiti did what the world said was impossible, and that same strength lives on in us today.

To our brothers and sisters across the diaspora and back home: we see the trials, the uncertainty, and the weight of the moment. Yet history reminds us that we are a people who rise. Time and time again, we have faced adversity and emerged with resilience, innovation, and pride.

As we step into 2026, we do so with renewed purpose. There is so much ahead — new opportunities, bold initiatives, and collective work focused on restoration, economic empowerment, and unifying Haitians across borders. We are committed to being part of the generation that reconnects the diaspora, amplifies Haitian excellence, and helps shape a stronger future for our homeland.

Thank you to our community for your strength, your faith, and your continued support. The road forward is not without challenges, but together, we remain powerful, rooted, and unstoppable.

Ayiti leve. Ayiti la. Ayiti ap avanse.
Happy Haitian Independence Day. 🇭🇹
