Pierre should still be alive today.
Pierre was a Haitian 20-year-old honors student, ROTC cadet, & avid soccer player pursuing neuroscience. On August 31st 2026, Pierre took his own life by jumping in front of a truck on the highway after his college scholarships and freedom were stripped away. He was then forced to wear an ankle monitor, portraying him as a criminal. This was because his TPS status was terminated.
“I came to this country to pursue my education. I didn’t come here to commit a crime or hurt anyone. Yet now I’m walking through the streets of the United States with a GPS monitor on my leg, carrying a feeling of shame and humiliation that I never imagined I would experience.”
- Pierre Damas Bel.
More than 350,000 Haitians are facing deportation after the Supreme Court ruled with the Trump Administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which is a legal status they have had for over a decade.
If you are infuriated by his death, here is your chance to help us push for legislation that will restore the immigration status he lost and will protect everyone else who is currently facing the same threats.
HELP US URGE OUR SENATORS TO CO-SPONSOR S. 4814. This will extend TPS for Haiti for another three years. Take action below.
Say: “I’m a constituent, and I’m calling to urge Senator [Name] to co-sponsor on S. 4814 to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.”
OR if they have already signed, say:
“As your constituent, thank you for co-sponsoring S. 4814, but please urge your colleagues to co-sponsor as well, so we can extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.”
Continue the movement on social media by resharing or post your own call for TPS for Haiti
