Democratic lawmakers are demanding the US extend deportation protection for more than 500,000 Haitians, warning that without it they would be sent to a war zone the government itself “has explicitly deemed unsafe.”
In a letter Tuesday to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, more than 80 members of the House and Senate argue that it’s in the national interest to re-extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians living in the US beyond Aug. 3.
