Read the second time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 374.
The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months beginning August 3, 2025, with the phrase “notwithstanding any other provision of law” making the designation mandatory.
Very narrow, administratively implementable measure increases chances, but immigration partisan dynamics and need for majority/consensus lower overall probability.
How solid the drafting looks.
