Redesignating #Haiti for Temporary Protected Status is important for children's safety and well-being. Here's why: (thread) @UndocuBlack @HaitianBridge #TPSforHaiti
Haiti is in the middle of a political uprising, during which its people have faced increased gang violence, kidnapping, and crackdowns against their protests. #TPSforHaiti voanews.com/americas/biden…
On top of that, Haiti's children face the same harmful impacts all children have during #COVID19-school closures, malnutrition, and increased risk of abuse, exploitation, and violence. #TPSforHaiti unicef.org/media/94046/fi…
Of the 273,000 U.S. citizen children of TPS holders, 27,000 are children of Haitian TPS recipients. These children should be able to remain in the US with their families, not face separation or return with their family to harm. #TPSforHaiti journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…
The administration has the power to protect children and preserve family unity through TPS. @SecMayorkas and @SecBlinken, we need #TPSforHaiti

Watching @HomelandDems hearing with Secretary Mayorkas today. homeland.house.gov/activities/hea…
Rep. @BennieGThompson asked about children separated from children. Sec. Mayorkas said the effort to find parents is a "all of government effort" and working to restore our nation to core principles and values.
Asked about equity in the vaccine, Sec. Mayorkas speaks about how equity is a core value for the department. Hope to see that value applied to Haitian children and families who have faced expulsion and who need TPS. #TPSForHaiti
