On 14 March 2025, protesters, members of the Haitian community, and lawmakers rallied in Little Haiti in New York - Brooklyn (New York) to demand preservation of the Temporary Protected Status for Haitians.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Haitian Americans and congressional representatives held a peaceful demonstration in Brooklyn's Little Haiti area, New York, demanding the preservation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians. The low-risk peaceful protest caused no direct logistics disruptions, but potential labor supply-chain risks remain latent due to immigration policy changes.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Potential temporary traffic congestion due to protests near New York Port area, but no direct impact on port operations due to peaceful nature of demonstration
• Concerns over increased instability in labor supply chains for labor-intensive industries such as agriculture, construction, and services if Haitian TPS policy changes occur
• Limited short-term impact on small manufacturing facilities and logistics warehouse operations in Brooklyn area

3) Watch points

• Track federal government's decision on extending Haitian TPS and potential for related follow-up protest expansion
• Monitor impact on port and airport access routes if additional immigration policy-related protests occur within the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area
