Florida migrants facing limited options with TPS revocation

Some of the largest migrant populations in the Sunshine State are now coming face-to-face with deportation. The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to revoke the Temporary Protected Status for several countries, with a focus on Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti. Half a million Haitians call Florida home, and the Sunshine State has nearly half of the Venezuelan immigrants in the United States, but many of those migrants have lost their TPS designation and will have no choice but to return to their home county. Immigration Attorney Ricardo Skerrett joins us to talk about this decision and if any other options exist for those chasing the American dream.
