Miami archbishop calls on Senate to support bill extending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians
The Archbishop of Miami, Thomas Wenski, is urging the U.S. Senate to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians as their current status expires, affecting over 300,000 individuals and putting healthcare workers at risk of deportation. He advocates for Senate support of H.R. 1689, a bill passed by the House, to provide a three-year TPS extension and emphasizes immigration policies should balance justice and mercy.
