Last year, the US government ended temporary protected status, or TPS, for nearly 60,000 Haitians – meaning they must leave the country by mid-2019. 

Now, dozens of Haitians are crossing the US border into Canada daily, many illegally, saying they're fleeing the Trump administration's aggressive anti-immigration policies.
