House passes bill to restore temporary protections for Haitian immigrants.

The House approved legislation to reinstate Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants, passing 224-204 with 10 Republicans joining Democrats; the White House has threatened a veto and the measure now moves to the Senate.

The House passed legislation that would reinstate temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants and require the Homeland Security secretary to designate Haiti for TPS for three years. The measure passed 224-204, with 10 Republicans joining Democrats on the vote. The White House announced a veto threat if the bill reaches the president. The dispute comes after the administration moved to end TPS for Haitians and a federal judge temporarily blocked that action. Key facts: - The House approved the bill 224-204, with 10 Republicans voting in favor. - The legislation would direct the Homeland Security secretary to designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status for three years. - The White House has said the president would veto the bill should it reach his desk. - A federal judge halted the administration's effort to terminate TPS for Haitians, and the administration's challenge is scheduled to be considered by the Supreme Court this month. Summary: The House vote reflects congressional support for restoring TPS but faces executive opposition and uncertain prospects in the Senate. The measure now goes to the Senate, and a related legal challenge over the administration’s attempt to end TPS is expected to be heard by the Supreme Court this month.
