House votes to protect Haitians

House votes to protect Haitians

A group of House Republicans broke ranks with the White House to join Democrats in supporting the legislation.

The bill would require the administration to extend protections for at least three years, citing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Haiti.

Supporters argue that deporting hundreds of thousands of people would be both inhumane and economically disruptive.

The measure now heads to the Senate, where its future remains uncertain amid a broader fight over immigration policy.
