Elizabeth, what has the Trump administration said about why it's moving to, you know, what Nancy just said, make these folks who were legally allowed to work here suddenly not legal to work here and why they're moving to end TPS for Haitians when so many of these immigrants do play major roles in the workforce?

Department of Homeland Security, go for it.

Do you have a sense at all from talking to the folks that you spoke to down in Florida whether people really are planning to pack up and go and return to Haiti when their TPS expires or just sort of move into the underground economy?

So what's been your big takeaway from your time in Florida and your reporting on TPS, which I'm sure will be ongoing?

Yeah.
