Since Jan 2025, over a million people have lost TPS or similar legal protections/authorization to work in the US. These are people here **legally**. They built careers, raised families and became part of their communities. Now those protections are being stripped away. (2/6)

This crisis didn’t begin with the termination of #TPS. For decades, Congress has failed to update our immigration laws. This means many longtime residents have virtually no way to gain permanent status, no matter how long they’ve lived here or how deeply rooted they are. (3/6)

Short-term protections like #TPS, parole & deferred action have helped fill that void. Congress's failure to act left the executive branch w/ little choice but to use these temporary measures to protect people. (4/6)

This "great delegalization" means workers will lose jobs they’ve held for years. Employers will lose experienced staff. Communities will be disrupted. And it all does absolutely nothing to fix what's fundamentally broken in our immigration system. (5/6)
