Uthy spent seven years in medical school training to become a doctor in Haiti. On the cusp of graduation, she fled the country three years ago to the US with her husband, young child and a dream to return when it was safe.
Uthy, who holds Temporary Protected Status, now lives in fear that she or her family could be detained and deported at any time after the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could end TPS for Haitians and Syrians.
TPS provides deportation relief and work permits to people already in the US if their home countries face natural disasters, armed conflict or other extraordinary conditions.
Programming note: There will be no One Essential Read newsletter this Friday.
