Lawler Urges TPS Extension for Haitians

Congressman Mike Lawler is urging Congress to extend temporary protected status for Haitians in the U.S., arguing that Haiti’s ongoing political collapse and gang violence make immediate deportation unsafe. With a third of the 350,000+ Haitians with TPS working in healthcare, ending their status could cripple hospitals and nursing homes. Though the Supreme Court blocked federal courts from reviewing TPS terminations, Lawler insists now is not the time to end protections — especially since a bipartisan House bill extending TPS for 18 months passed earlier this year, awaiting Senate action. The White House declined to directly address whether President Trump would consider extending TPS for Haitians, reiterating that TPS is meant to be temporary.
