A U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the Department of Homeland Security to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians could have ripple effects across Indiana’s healthcare sector and broader economy.
With work authorizations for Haitian TPS holders set to expire as early as Friday, community advocates are raising concerns on the impending loss of thousands of essential Hoosier workers.
Indiana is home to approximately 11,000 Haitian TPS holders, the 8th largest population in the nation, with roughly 7,000 actively participating in the state’s workforce across critical industries such as logistics, food production, and long-term care.
