Painters Union Vows Support for Workers as DHS Terminates Protective Status for Nicaraguan Families
The Department of Homeland Security decided to terminate the Temporary Protective Status or TPS for hundreds of thousands of documented immigrants from Nicaragua.
“This is unconscionable, a threat to our economy and undermines the fabric of American society. We are a nation built by immigrants and their children. Terminating the status of these workers will have a chilling effect on the construction industry and the ability of developers, contractors and unions to fulfill the workforce needs of that industry,” officials said.
