It's left many other immigrants with protected status worried about their future. Haitian immigrant Louismarie is one of them.
He lives in the Hudson Valley and said he was one of the Haitians who got an "offer" to come the United States, known as humanitarian parole. It's a Biden-era program that grants temporary immigration status to people from countries like Haiti and Cuba.

While it's unclear what will happen, some immigrant service groups in the area are calling on the administration to protect these people.
