Wednesday marks the official termination of temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitian migrants in the United States.


A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending TPS in February. But after a Supreme Court ruling in June gave the federal government the green light to revoke the status, the judge determined that the February order was "no longer in effect."


The decision leaves 350,000 Haitians at risk of losing their jobs and being deported.


Wednesday on Midday Edition, we hear about how that is impacting Haitian migrants in San Diego and what is at stake.
