Advocates brace for possible influx of Haitian asylum seekers as U.S. protections end

The article discusses the impact of the United States ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 300,000 Haitians, leaving them in legal limbo and increasing their vulnerability to detention or deportation.

Some advocates call for special programs to assist Haitians already residing in the U.S., emphasizing Canada's responsibility to protect those facing dangerous conditions in their home country.
