Statement from Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages (D – Valley Stream) –
“I welcome the court ruling pausing the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians in the United States,” Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages (D – Valley Stream) said. “When a government moves to suddenly remove legal protections from 350,000 people who are lawfully living and working in this country, the courts have a responsibility to step in – and that is exactly what happened. This decision reinforces a core principle of our democracy – executive authority is not unlimited, and due process matters. Haitian TPS holders are law-abiding individuals who have built families and strengthened our communities. Until permanent, lawful solutions are established, these protections must remain in place.”
