Elizabeth Francois, owner of the Westport homecare agency Quality Care Services, says she was forced to terminate 50 certified nursing assistants (CNAs).

While the White House argues the program was abused, local immigration attorney Alex Meyerovich describes the policy as a "human disaster" and a racially motivated effort to remove non-white populations.
