House shields Haitians from deportation

The House resolution aims to preserve deportation protections for Haitian nationals living in the U.S., citing the ongoing humanitarian crisis and gang violence in their home country.

The 224-204 vote was made possible after a small group of Republicans used a rare procedural maneuver to force the bill to the floor.

While the measure now heads to the Senate, the White House has already signaled that President Trump would likely veto any final bill.

Bipartisan supporters argue that ending the protections would be inhumane given Haiti's current instability, while opponents claim it undermines the administration's mass deportation agenda.
