Pastor Molis Augustave spent a decade preaching and organizing with his neighbors. After TPS for Haiti ended, he was left without protections. Pastor Molis was later pulled over for a burnt out headlight. Local police alerted federal immigration agents who then detained and deported him to Haiti.

We honor Mario’s life and our hearts are with his family and his children. Everyday, our communities are left vulnerable to the violent actions of immigration enforcement. From shootings to car crashes, our loved ones are being targeted and killed.

The administration’s mass delegalization is worsening the healthcare crisis. When TPS is dismantled and programs like DACA are being chipped away piece by piece, it’s the home care workers, nurses, & doctors our communities rely on who are being pushed out of status.
