Faith Leaders Hold Vigil Asking Congress To Restore Temporary Protective Status (TPS)
Murad Awawdeh, President & CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, speaks at a vigil held by faith leaders, advocates, and allies outside of 26 Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan, New York, on July 2, 2026. The event calls for the full reinstatement of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian nationals living in the United States. On June 25, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in a 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Doe to allow the Trump Administration to remove protections for citizens of Haiti and Syria.
