U.S. House Approves Extension of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian Migrants Amid Supreme Court Review
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants until January 20, 2029. This decision comes as the Trump administration's previous termination of TPS for Haitians is under review by the Supreme Court. The House bill, which passed with a 224-204 vote, saw bipartisan support with ten Republicans joining Democrats. The TPS program allows foreign nationals from countries deemed unsafe to remain in the U.S. for up to 18 months. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has previously removed TPS designations for 13 countries, leading to numerous legal challenges. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the administration's plans to end TPS for 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. The House bill mandates DHS to maintain TPS for Haiti, highlighting the significant role Haitian TPS holders play in the U.S. workforce, particularly in states like Florida.
