Bishops: Ask your senators to extend protection for Haitians

In brief

Catholic bishops are urging the Senate to approve a House bill that would extend temporary protected status to approximately 350,000 Haitian refugees living in the United States. The request, issued through an action alert by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, also seeks to extend this status to other individuals currently holding temporary protected status.

The bishops issued this call as Congress returns to full sessions. The proposed legislation aims to maintain legal protections for the Haitian community and other eligible migrants.
