To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status.

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to give Haiti “temporary protected status” (TPS) for 18 months, starting August 3, 2025. TPS lets eligible people from a designated country stay in the U.S. during the set period. While they have TPS, they can get permission to work, they cannot be detained just for their immigration status, and they are not at risk of being removed from the U.S. during that time .

Key points

• Who is affected: Eligible Haitian nationals already in the United States.
• What changes: They may receive work authorization, and they are shielded from detention and removal while they keep TPS.
• When: The TPS designation would run for 18 months beginning August 3, 2025.
