US House votes to extend temporary protections for Haitians

The U.S. House of Representatives voted to extend Temporary Protected Status for approximately 350,000 Haitians, with ten Republicans joining Democrats in a 224-204 vote. The legislation allows Haitians to maintain their protection for three more years amid ongoing violence and instability in Haiti. The bill will head to the Senate, where it faces uncertain prospects, especially with President Trump’s opposition to immigration protections.
