Florida Republican Congressman Carlos Giménez said the White House should reconsider its plan to end temporary protected status for Haitian migrants. TPS currently protects roughly 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. The Supreme Court’s June ruling cleared the way for the administration to terminate the program, while a Department of Homeland Security memo indicated that Haitian beneficiaries may keep their status and work authorization until courts resolve the issue. Giménez, who served as mayor of Miami‑Dade County before his election to Congress, noted that TPS was created to safeguard people fleeing failed states. He added that returning Haitians to a country with ongoing gang violence would be unsafe. He also called for restoring TPS for Venezuelans after the June 24 earthquakes in north‑central Venezuela. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine urged the administration to keep TPS for Haitians, saying the community contributes to manufacturing, caregiving, home ownership and local businesses. He cited state travel advisories that label Haiti as unsafe. Congressman Mike Lawler of New York warned that ending TPS could strain hospitals and nursing homes, noting that about one‑third of Haitian TPS holders work in healthcare. Giménez previously introduced legislation, HR 1689, that would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to extend TPS for Haiti through 2029. The bill passed the House with a 224‑204 vote, receiving support from several South Florida Republicans and Democrats, and is now pending Senate consideration. The outcome of the Senate debate will determine whether Haitian TPS recipients retain their protected status.
