Bill overview
This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status (TPS). Under TPS, individuals from designated countries who are currently in the United States may be able to continue living and working here without returning to their home country due to conditions like ongoing armed conflict or natural disasters. The designation would remain in effect until January 20, 2029, allowing Haitian nationals residing in the U.S. to avoid deportation during a period of instability in Haiti. This action aims to provide refuge for Haitians facing serious dangers in their homeland.
