The House passed a bill extending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians through 2029. The floor vote was 224-204, with 10 Republicans joining Democrats and one independent in favor. Rep. Laura Gillen sponsored the bill and Rep. Ayanna Pressley led a discharge petition that forced the vote. The measure would statutorily extend TPS, protecting roughly 330,000 to 350,000 Haitian nationals from deportation.
