The lawmaker stated that ending the protections would create a crisis, according to a statement released by the office.
Background on the program The protections, known as Temporary Protected Status, allow eligible nationals from designated countries to remain in the United States when conditions in their home country prevent safe return. Haiti has been designated for the program due to ongoing instability and natural disasters.
Next steps The current designation is set to expire in the coming weeks unless extended by federal officials. Advocates and community organizations have also pressed for continuation of the program.
