Over 400 groups urge Biden to expand TPS protection for Haitians​

Washington, November 24 (RHC)-- A coalition of over 400 immigrant justice and human rights groups are urging the Biden administration to grant temporary protected status, or TPS, to more people from Haiti as the island nation faces a political and economic crisis with violence increasing in the streets. 

The efforts led by the Haitian Bridge Alliance are calling for current beneficiaries of TPS to be given more time in the program and for Biden officials to expand the relief to Haitians who fled to the United States after July 2021.  

The program temporarily shields immigrants from deportation and grants them permission to work in the U.S.  TPS for Haitians is currently set to expire in three months, in February 2023.
