Yesterday\u2019s&nbsp;Supreme Court decision upends the lives of thousands of immigrant workers and families under Temporary Protected Status and denies them the stability they have worked hard to achieve. Many of them have built their lives here and become the friends, neighbors, and coworkers that we rely on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe effects of this ruling will be felt by more than just those directly impacted \u2013 every worker, every community, and the entire economy will feel it. It jeopardizes worker and food safety in meatpacking plants, food processing facilities, and grocery stores, with workers left behind being pushed to their limit without the skilled hands of their immigrant coworkers next to them. Labor shortages that have long plagued these industries will also be worsened, leading to higher prices for families trying to put food on the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Supreme Court has empowered the Trump Administration to expand its cruel and dangerous immigration policies. While this ruling immediately impacts hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants, it also creates extreme uncertainty for nearly a million additional TPS holders. The ripple effect of this could be felt throughout the country as families and communities are uprooted, including some who have been here for decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Administration has the power to give Haitian and Syrian TPS holders more time before forcing them to leave their homes. Families have to prioritize their safety as much as possible during this chaotic time, as they are being forced to return to countries they fled due to political unrest, natural disasters, and violence. Giving them space to plan is the bare minimum in the face of this inhumane immigration policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CONTACT:<\/strong>\u00a0Finn Storer\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:press@ufcw.org\">press@ufcw.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe effects of this ruling will be felt by more than just those directly impacted \u2013 every worker, every community, and the entire economy will feel it.\u201d WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013&nbsp;Today, the&nbsp;United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), which represents 1.2 million essential workers across North America, released a statement in response to the Supreme [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":436,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[388,449,550,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65065","press_releases","type-press_releases","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-immigration","category-official-statements","category-political-action","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UFCW Condemns Supreme Court Ruling on Temporary Protected Status - The United Food &amp;
