Requires the government to grant temporary protected status to Haitian nationals for 18 months.
This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to grant temporary protected status to Haitian nationals living in the U.S. for 18 months. This status would begin on August 3, 2025, offering protection from deportation and allowing them to work legally.
Right now, the Secretary of Homeland Security has the choice to designate a country for temporary protected status, but is not required to do so for Haiti. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary would be legally required to grant temporary protected status to Haiti for 18 months, starting on August 3, 2025.
