Nurses, healthcare workers, and elected officials gathered outside Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn to protest the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, warning the policy could worsen existing healthcare staffing shortages. The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) organized the event, arguing that Haitian TPS holders make up a significant portion of the healthcare workforce in the region. The protest highlights a direct link between immigration policy and staffing supply, a concern increasingly relevant to healthcare staffing agencies and their clients.
