On April 16, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1689, a bipartisan bill, by 224 to 204. The bill would extend Haitian Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for three more years for an estimated 350,000 Haitians in the United States. Ten House Republicans and one independent voted for the bill in addition to all of the House Democrats.
The future of the bill looks less certain in the Senate, where it will head next.
