A looming expiration of temporary protections may impact South Florida's healthcare system. Thousands of individuals with temporary protected status, or TPS, work in the local healthcare industry. Their protected status is set to expire soon, which could put them at risk of deportation.

This development may have consequences for patients and families who rely on these caregivers. Further information on this situation is available from CBS News sources, which report that ICE plans to increase arrests and deportations of certain immigrants as the expiration approaches.
