Haitian Migrants, A Constitutional Crisis, and Temporary Protected Status

Haiti’s political unrest and constitutional crisis have been a fixture of news about the country for the last several years. As Haitians continue to leave an environment of violence and repression, the United States has been one of the primary destinations for these vulnerable migrants. In an attempt to assist Haitians in their transition to life in the United States, the Biden administration extended Temporary Protective Status to migrants from Haiti on May 24.

Today on the podcast, Grace and Natasha discuss the political, economic, and social unrest in Haiti and also examine the relationship between Haiti and the United States in recent history.
