The committee release says members asked DHS to use humanitarian parole and Temporary Protected Status; the signers list includes Yvette D. Clarke.
Assessments
Clarke directly supported Temporary Protected Status for Bahamians affected by Hurricane Dorian during the same congressional term by sponsoring H.R.4272, the TPS for Victims of Hurricane Dorian Act of 2019, and by joining a congressional letter urging DHS to use TPS and humanitarian parole for affected Bahamians. Because the promise was to support TPS, not necessarily secure final TPS designation, these actions satisfy the commitment.
