Houston Area Urban League President & CEO Judson Robinson joined Congressman Al Green, Haitians United, community leaders, advocates, and concerned residents today at Houston City Hall for an important press conference addressing the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and other nations, as well as concerns surrounding immigration enforcement.

The Houston Area Urban League remains committed to advocating for fairness, due process, and policies that protect the dignity and well-being of individuals and families in our communities.

We appreciate Congressman Green and Houston Haitians United for bringing attention to this critical issue and creating space for community voices to be heard.
