House Passes Bill Extending Protections for Haitian Migrants in the U.S.

Apr 21, 2026

The U.S. House voted on Thursday to extend temporary protected status for Haitian migrants through 2029, with several Republicans supporting the Democratic-endorsed measure to curb President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

The vote was split 224-204, with 10 Republicans joining the Democrats in approving the resolution.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), who led the effort, used a congressional procedure called a discharge petition to force a vote to the floor.

“This is a monumental victory in a long-fought battle to protect the safety, dignity, and humanity of our Haitian neighbors,” Pressley said in a statement after the bill’s passage. “Democrats and Republicans alike have come together to support our Haitian neighbors not just because this is good, commonsense policy, but because it is the right, humane thing to do.”
