End of immigration program forces difficult choices for Vermont residents

A federal immigration program allowing over 200 Vermont residents to live and work in the state ends, forcing individuals to choose between remaining in the U.S. illegally or returning to countries with violent conditions. The U.S. Supreme Court terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians, impacting 350,000 people nationwide, many of whom now seek alternative immigration protections or face deportation risks.
