Haitian deportation protections extended

The legislation aims to shield Haitian migrants from deportation as their home nation continues to grapple with extreme gang violence and food insecurity.

While the bill's passage in the House is a victory for advocates, the White House has already signaled that President Trump would likely veto the measure if it passes the Senate.

Supporters argue that returning thousands to Haiti during its current humanitarian crisis would be inhumane and destabilizing.

The vote reflects growing internal resistance within the GOP to the administration's aggressive mass deportation agenda.
