House Advances Bill to Extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians Over GOP Leadership Objections
75The U.S. House of Representatives agreed to consider legislation requiring a three-year extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants, allowing hundreds of thousands to remain in the U.S. without deportation fear. House Democrats, joined by a small number of Republicans, forced the measure forward on Wednesday despite objections from Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP leadership, with a full vote scheduled for Thursday. The action counters Trump administration efforts to terminate TPS for Haiti and other nations.
