A federal appeals court pushed back Temporary Protected Status protections for Haitians on deadline to this Sunday. A last-minute order from another court shocked observers by changing the Haiti TPS expiration date to Monday. Florida Representative Carlos Gimenez made his position clear. He said he backs the extension. That support matters because health staff in Florida stand to lose jobs without a decision. On another front State Department spokespeople warned Haiti remains dangerous for returns right now.
