The House Said YES.
Now It’s the Senate’s Turn.

What Happens Next
Passed 219-209. The House voted to bring H.R. 1689 to the floor for debate and final vote.

The Supreme Court hears Miot v. Trump (Haiti) and Dahlia Doe v. Noem (Syria) — two landmark TPS cases that will set the legal standard for all 1.3 million TPS holders. The House vote strengthens the case for protection. Learn more →
H.R. 1689 now moves to the U.S. Senate. The bill needs 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. With the Senate split 53-47 (Republican-Democrat), at least 13 Republican senators would need to vote YES. Early conversations are underway. The House’s bipartisan vote — especially from Republican members in Florida, New York, Ohio, and other key states — creates momentum for Senate action.
The White House has issued a veto threat. An override would require two-thirds of both chambers (290 in the House, 67 in the Senate). While the House vote of 224-204 falls short of override, passage through both chambers would force the President to publicly veto protections for 350,000 people — a significant political cost.

About H.R. 1689
H.R. 1689 extends the designation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti until 2029, providing critical stability for over 350,000 Haitian TPS holders and their families and communities across the country. Haitian TPS holders contribute nearly $6 billion to the U.S. economy each year and pay $1.56 billion in taxes annually.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and advanced through a discharge petition led by Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), which secured 218 signatures to force the bill to the House floor.
This legislation comes at a critical moment: the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on April 29 in two landmark TPS cases — Miot v. Trump (Haiti) and Dahlia Doe v. Noem (Syria) — that will set the legal standard for judicial review of TPS terminations for all 1.3 million TPS holders nationwide. Learn more about the April 29 Supreme Court oral arguments →
