This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Haiti through April 2029. TPS allows Haitians already living in the United States to stay legally and avoid deportation during this period. It also lets eligible individuals apply for work permits, providing them legal authorization to work. The bill does not create a path to permanent residency or citizenship—it simply offers temporary protection and work eligibility for Haitians while their home country remains in crisis.
