U.S. House protects Haitian immigrants

U.S. House protects Haitian immigrants

The bill would require the administration to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians living in the U.S., citing ongoing instability in their home country.

The vote is seen as a significant rebuke of President Trump's hardline immigration policies.

Supporters argue that ending the protections would be inhumane and would further destabilize Haiti.

The legislation now heads for a final House vote on Thursday, where it is expected to pass despite opposition from the White House.
