Plain-English Summary

The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to grant temporary protected status to Haiti, allowing Haitian nationals currently in the United States to legally live and work here without fear of deportation for a set period of time. This designation is typically used when a country experiences ongoing armed conflict, natural disaster, or other extraordinary conditions that make it unsafe for citizens to return home. Haitian immigrants and their families would be the primary beneficiaries of this protection.
