AG Campbell led a coalition of 20 attorneys general in urging Congress to take immediate action to protect Haitian Temporary Protected Status holders as lawmakers return to session.  In a letter to congressional leaders, AG Campbell and the coalition called on Congress to pass An Act to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status (H.R. 1689/S.4814), which would extend TPS protections for Haiti. The coalition also asked Congress to pass legislation that would provide judicial oversight of TPS decisions and establish a pathway to permanent residency for TPS holders.

"Forcing hundreds of thousands of people to return to Haiti – a country facing extraordinary violence, political instability, and a deep humanitarian crisis – would put lives at risk, separate families who have built their lives in America, and threaten communities and industries that rely on TPS holders. Congress must act now to extend TPS for Haiti and ensure there is meaningful oversight of TPS decisions. TPS holders deserve stability, fairness, and due process, not cruelty and uncertainty driven by shifting political agendas.” -AG Campbell
