As news of the 6-3 decision spread through the crowd, protesters embraced and comforted one another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cAll of these battles are intertwined,\u201d said Paul Christian Namphy, lead organizer and political director of the Family Action Network Movement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">TPS advocates argue that conditions in Haiti remain too dangerous for deportations. The U.S. State Department continues to maintain a Level 4 \u201cDo Not Travel\u201d advisory for the country because of widespread violence and instability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cMy people, they can\u2019t go back. It is real. The reality in Haiti is real. Unsafe conditions in Haiti are real,\u201d said Tessa Petit, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition. Petit pointed to ongoing humanitarian crises, including violence against children, a lack of functioning schools and limited access to health care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThere are no grounds for terminating Haiti TPS based on the country conditions inside Haiti,\u201d Namphy said. \u201cThis is absolutely absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Advocates described the prospect of deportations to Haiti as a death sentence, citing the country\u2019s gang violence and deteriorating security situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Despite the court\u2019s decision, organizers vowed to continue fighting to protect Haitian immigrants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI would say we are not likely going back. We are going to stick together. We are going to keep on fighting,\u201d said Santcha Etienne, of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Petit echoed that determination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThe battle is not over,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">James Percival, the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s general counsel, told Local 10 News in a statement, \u201cIn our second Supreme Court win of the day, the Court vindicates DHS yet again. The T in TPS stands for TEMPORARY, yet many of these designations became de facto amnesty. This is a win for the rule of law and common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI \u2014 Members of South Florida\u2019s Haitian community reacted with grief and defiance after the U.S. Supreme Court&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":319576,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-319575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
