Protected status for Haitians in U.S.
This bill would require Homeland Security to give Haiti Temporary Protected Status (TPS). If you are a Haitian national or a Haitian resident in the United States, you would be able to seek TPS. Under TPS, you would be protected from deportation and would be able to apply for permission to work. The designation would take effect upon enactment and would last until April 20, 2029. It would apply even if other laws say otherwise.
