Rep. Pressley Forces House Vote on Haiti TPS Extension After Discharge Petition Hits 218-Signature Threshold

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in late April to decide the fate of legal protections for 350,000 Haitians currently residing in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status. In the House, a successful discharge petition has bypassed committee leadership to force a floor vote on H.Res. 965, which would extend these protections through 2029. Until these legal and legislative actions conclude, the affected individuals remain under a court-ordered stay but face the immediate threat of deportation if the program is terminated.
