House breaks with Trump, votes to shield Haitian immigrants from potential deportation
The 224-204 vote would extend protections for about 350,000 Haitians and could face a Senate fight and a likely veto from President Donald Trump.
- On Thursday, the House voted 224-204 to block the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitian nationals, requiring a three-year extension of the program.
- The Trump administration moved to terminate Haiti's TPS in late 2025, claiming the designation was contrary to national interest; a federal district court blocked the move in early February 2026.
- Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York led the bipartisan effort, with Pressley calling deportation a 'death sentence' given Haiti's instability and gang violence.
- Republican critics, including Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas, denounced the measure as 'backdoor amnesty,' while the bill faces a likely Senate delay and veto threat from President Trump.
- The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on April 29 regarding the administration's TPS termination efforts in Trump v. Miot, consolidated with the Syria TPS case, while the lower court's stay remains in effect.
