Support swift bipartisan congressional action, including S.4814, to extend or restore Temporary Protected Status for Haiti and provide three years of legal protections to Haitian nationals.

Whitehouse and Reed cosponsored legislation, S.4814, designating Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The Senators urged swift, bipartisan action to extend TPS and said Congress should restore the Haitian TPS designation on a bipartisan basis.

Whitehouse committed to supporting legislation and congressional action to extend or restore TPS protections for Haitians after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump Administration to proceed with ending TPS for Haiti.

The docket records that on June 25, 2026, judgment was reversed and the case remanded in consolidated TPS challenges involving Syria and Haiti; on June 30, the stay application was denied as moot.

In the lookback window, the Supreme Court removed lower-court interim relief blocking TPS terminations, a concrete adverse development for restoring or extending Haitian TPS protections.

The Court described the case as a challenge to termination of TPS for aliens from Syria and Haiti and held respondents were not entitled to orders postponing the terminations during litigation.

The decision is evidence that Haitian TPS protections had not been restored by July 8, 2026 and that litigation was not delivering the promised protection.

The amici brief says 187 members of the 119th Congress supported respondents and opposed TPS terminations; its appendix lists Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island among the amici.

Whitehouse took concrete federal action supporting Haitian TPS holders by joining an official Supreme Court amicus brief against termination, but that action did not itself enact three years of protections.

Congress.gov lists H.R.1689 as introduced February 27, 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee; the tracker shown on the page lists the bill at the Introduced step, not enacted.

Official bill status shows related congressional action existed but had not become law, so the commitment to provide statutory Haitian TPS protections remained undelivered on this record.
