New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued a consumer alert warning Haitian and Syrian New Yorkers with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) about potential immigration services scams and providing tips to protect New York families. 

“Following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the federal government to end TPS for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, TPS holders in New York and nationwide are scrambling to find answers. Too often, bad actors can take advantage of increased fear and anxiety to scam immigrants and their families. I urge Congress to pass legislation to extend TPS, and until then, I encourage all New Yorkers faced with losing TPS to follow our guidance, exercise caution, and seek competent advice they trust.” – AG James
