Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, representing Florida’s 20th district, has publicly voiced her concerns regarding the recent decision to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extension for Haitians. Through a series of tweets on February 21, 2025, she urged the administration to reconsider this decision due to its potential impact on both national security and the economy.
In her first tweet of the day, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick expressed her appeal for action: "I urge this administration to revisit and reverse the decision to end the TPS extension for Haitians." This message was posted at 13:48 UTC.
Later that afternoon at 14:21 UTC, she highlighted economic implications in another tweet: "Rescinding TPS protections for Haitians will cause America to lose over 500,000 essential workers in critical industries. This only serves to hurt Americans — not help them."
In a subsequent post made at 17:02 UTC, Cherfilus-McCormick further emphasized broader consequences by stating: "This decision will not only jeopardize our national security, but it will undermine the stability of our economy. I strongly urge the administration to reconsider and reverse this decision."
