U.S. House Passes Bill To Extend TPS For Haitians

UNITED STATES – Caribbean and immigrant advocacy groups are welcoming the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of legislation aimed at extending Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Haitian nationals, calling it a significant step toward shielding hundreds of thousands from deportation.

Temporary protected status allows nationals from countries facing conflict, disaster, or other extraordinary conditions to live and work legally in the United States.

The bill now advances to the Senate, where supporters are urging SWIFT approval to extend protections for Haitian migrants currently covered under the programme.
