GovInfo lists H.R. 1689 in the 119th Congress as an Engrossed in House bill, with the full title 'An Act To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status,' sponsor 'Gillen, Laura,' and last action date April 16, 2026. The bill text states that DHS shall designate Haiti for TPS until three months after January 20, 2029, and notes it passed the House on April 16, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Laura Gillen introduced/sponsored a bill to extend Haiti TPS and got it through the House, which is concrete same-term progress but not final enactment.

Senator Markey's office reported on August 27, 2026 that senators urged Senate leaders to schedule a vote on H.R. 1689, a bill to designate Haiti for TPS. The release says the House legislation passed in April but was blocked in the Senate when Markey and Blunt Rochester forced a vote the prior month.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the latest strong official status found near the lookback window, Gillen's Haiti TPS bill remained stalled in the Senate after a blocked passage attempt, so the extension was not fully delivered.

Gillen materially advanced the promise in federal office by sponsoring H.R. 1689 to require Haiti's TPS designation and securing House passage on April 16, 2026. But the evidence shows the bill had not cleared the Senate or become law by August 27, 2026, so the promised TPS protection and extension was not fully delivered. This warrants partial credit for concrete same-term legislative progress, with an effort badge for a serious attempt.
