<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-0"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">The House on Thursday defied its own Republican leaders and passed a bill that would force the Trump administration to extend temporary humanitarian protections for Haitian migrants, in a bipartisan rejection of President Trump’s effort to end them.</p><p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">The move was largely symbolic, given that Mr. Trump would be all but certain to veto the bill. His administration last year terminated the deportation protections, known as Temporary Protected Status, or T.P.S., for more than 350,000 Haitians who under the program were allowed to live and work legally in the United States.</p><p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">But its passage by a vote of 224 to 204 was a striking election-year rebuke of Mr. Trump from members of his own party on immigration, one of his signature issues. The legislation came to the floor only after several Republicans from politically competitive districts broke with their party and joined Democrats to force a vote. Ultimately, 10 Republicans and one independent who caucuses with them joined Democrats to push it through.</p><p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Mr. Trump’s move to end the protections, part of his broader crackdown on immigration, is under review by the Supreme Court, after lower courts sided with Haitian immigrants who accused the administration of ending the program illegally.</p></div><aside aria-label="companion column" class="css-ew4tgv"></aside></div><div data-testid="Dropzone-1"></div><div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-1"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Since 1990, the U.S. government can provide Temporary Protected Status to migrants from certain foreign countries to allow them to remain in the United States for about 18 months if a crisis like an earthquake or a violent conflict would make it unsafe for them to return home. When a country loses that status, those migrants can be deported.</p><p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Haitians were first granted the status in 2010, after a huge earthquake devastated the country. The program had been repeatedly extended, with officials citing concerns over ongoing gang violence, political instability and food shortages in the country. But when the administration announced that it would end the protections for Haitians last June, it asserted that conditions in Haiti had significantly improved.</p><div class="css-kbghgg"><div class="css-121kum4"><div class="css-171d1bw"></div><div class="css-asuuk5"><noscript><div class="css-7axq9l" data-testid="optimistic-truncator-noscript"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="css-1b5b8u1" data-tpl="i" height="24" viewbox="0 0 24 24" width="24"><path clip-rule="evenodd" d="M2.5 12a9.5 9.5 0 1 1 19 0 9.5 9.5 0 0 1-19 0Zm8.5 1.75v-7.5h2v7.5h-2Zm0 2v2h2v-2h-2Z" fill="currentColor" fill-rule="evenodd"></path></svg><div class="css-6yo1no" data-testid="optimistic-truncator-noscript-message"><p class="css-3kpklk" data-tpl="t">We are having trouble retrieving the article content.</p><p class="css-3kpklk" data-tpl="t">Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.</p></div></div></noscript><div class="css-1dv1kvn" id="optimistic-truncator-a11y" tabindex="-1"><hr/><p>Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
