Brooklyn bishop leads march defending Haitian migrants

Original: Brooklyn bishop, faithful take to streets to defend Haitians Some 350,000 Haitians in the U.S. face an uncertain future

A Brooklyn bishop and parishioners marched in the streets to defend Haitian migrants, some 350,000 of whom face an uncertain future after the termination in July of their Temporary Protected Status in the United States. Catholic bishops have appealed to the government to reconsider the decision, which could leave hundreds of thousands of Haitians facing deportation.

Why now: The July termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians has prompted faith-led public protests and debate over US immigration policy.
