GOP Rep. Lawler calls for Haiti TPS extension, saying ending protections will ‘create a crisis’

Lawler says ending protections for 350,000 Haitian TPS holders would create a crisis and urges Congress to keep work authorization in place.

  • On Thursday, Rep. Mike Lawler publicly pushed back against the Trump administration's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian asylum-seekers, following a Supreme Court ruling that day.
  • The Supreme Court ruled that the administration can remove thousands of Haitians and Syrians from TPS, rejecting claims the decision was unconstitutionally motivated by racial prejudice.
  • Lawler warned that revoking status for 350,000+ lawful Haitian TPS holders would "create a crisis" in hospitals, noting roughly one-third work in the U.S. healthcare system.
  • The New York Republican is urging an orderly six-month transition for case adjudication and pushing the Senate to pass a bipartisan bill the House approved 224-204 with Republican support.
  • Sen. Katie Britt opposes the extension, arguing the program should be temporary and describing the legislative effort as "dead on arrival," while Lawler continues to buck party leadership in his swing district.
