Tell Senator Tillis: Co-Sponsor S. 4814 & Protect Haitian TPS! The Senate has gone home until after Election Day, and senators left without acting to protect 350,000 Haitian people from deportation. Since TPS ended in July, ICE has ramped up deportation flights to Haiti from once a month to once a week. NC is home to more than 13,000 Haitian-Americans: caregivers, construction workers, small business owners, and parents of American citizen children. Senator Tillis isn't running for reelection, and when the Senate returns on November 9, he can choose to stand with them.
