President Trumps immigration policies, including mass deportations, are causing fear among immigrant workers in Central Floridas tourism industry, particularly at Walt Disney World. Many of these workers, primarily from Haiti, rely on temporary protected status (TPS) for safety. A recent court block on ending TPS for Haiti provides temporary relief, but the constant threat of raids leaves workers feeling anxious. Local unions are advocating for protections against aggressive enforcement, as the hospitality workforce has shrunk by 98,000 jobs nationwide due to deportation fears. Central Floridas tourism industry, which generated $5.6 billion in tax revenue in 2024, could face challenges without immigrant labor.
