SOUNDBITES (Haitian Creole) Sun-G, Haitian barber: +++ PARTIALLY COVERED+++ “I was expecting that they might shorten the TPS validity period, from 18 months to 12. The application fee could even be higher, which would’ve made it harder for some people to afford. But at least we would’ve had the option to renew. I never expected them to terminate it completely.” 3. Medium shot of Sun-G cutting a man’s hair 4. Medium shot of trimmers on a table 5. Medium shot of a barber pole light 6. SOUNDBITES (Haitian Creole) Sun-G, Haitian barber: +++ COVERED+++ “Around 70 people used to come in every day, with each barber having at least 10 clients—and me, I usually had even more. Just look at today. It’s Monday, and what time is it? 3:47. I’ve barely done three haircuts.” 7. Medium of people’s feet moving inside the barbershop 8. Wide shot of people inside the barbershop 9.

SOUNDBITES (Haitian Creole) Sun-G, Haitian barber: +++ COVERED+++ “A lot of them lost their jobs at Amazon and other warehouses. Now that they’re unemployed, instead of coming every week they only show up once or twice a month. Getting a nice haircut just isn’t a priority anymore.” 13. Wide of the reflection of Sun-G cutting a man’s hair in the mirror 14. Close up of man’s hair being trimmed 15. Medium shot of Sun-G cleaning a client’s head after the haircut 16. SOUNDBITES (Haitian Creole) Sun-G, Haitian barber: +++ COVERED+++ “You’ve built your own business and were hoping to see more progress. It was never easy from the start. And just as things were beginning to fall into place, this is happening. All the effort you’ve put in means nothing, you go back to zero.” 17. Medium shot of Sun-G holding a phone to receive the payment from a client 18. Medium shot of the floor of the barbershop with the hairdresser chairs and someone brooming 19. Close up of the hair and paper towels piled up on the barbershop’s floor STORYLINE: The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that it is terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians on Aug. 3. The termination will be effective on Sept. 2. The announcement hit hard for Sun-G, a barber in Springfield, Ohio, who is also on TPS and asked to be identified only by his nickname because he fears deportation. “I was expecting that they might shorten the TPS validity period—maybe from 18 months to 12—or even raise the application fee, which would’ve made it harder for some people to afford. But at least we would’ve had the option to renew. I never expected them to terminate it completely,” Sun-G said. Sun-G said the uncertainty has already taken a toll on his business, as many of his clients who were on temporary immigration status parole have already lost their jobs and can no longer afford haircuts regularly. He said he used to do over 10 haircuts on a regular day, but on the Monday of our interview, by 3 p.m., he had barely cut three. “Suddenly, it feels like all the effort you put in means nothing, like you’ve been standing still this whole time,” Sun-G said. The termination of Temporary Protected Status applies to about 500,000 Haitians who are already in the United States, some of whom have lived here for more than a decade.

Wide and and pan right to left of the sunflower 18. Wide of Babich and his wife embracing while looking at sunflower and other plants in their backyard garden STORYLINE: When Alex Babich, 47, stood in his backyard in Fort Wayne, Indiana, craning his neck to look 35 feet into the sky, he wasn’t just staring at a sunflower. He was looking at his roots — and his future legacy. The flower, nicknamed “Clover,” confirmed Wednesday by Guinness World Records as the tallest sunflower ever measured, stretches as high as a telephone pole. Babich, born and raised in Ukraine, immigrated to the U.S. at age 14 in 1991 after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Seven years ago, he started growing sunflowers as a symbol of his love for his home country. “Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine, so it’s special to me," he said. Babich's first sunflower was 13 feet tall, then 15, then 19. Quickly, he began asking himself, “How far can we take this?” Babich said the record-breaking flower was the result of “trial and error over years.” Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_Archive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/APArchives ​​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/APNews/ You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/61a6f39653974cd78f5b640f6d5f63e8
