Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 26, 2026 —
U.S. Representative Frederica Wilson has introduced the “Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act” in response to a Supreme Court ruling that permits the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians. The proposed legislation seeks to establish a pathway for eligible Haitian nationals and their families, who have been living in the United States since June 26, 2024, to obtain green cards and ultimately citizenship.
The state of Florida, home to a substantial Haitian population, is anticipated to experience significant effects from both the Supreme Court’s decision and the potential passage of this new bill. The bill has garnered backing from other Florida Democratic representatives, including Maxwell Frost and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The “Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act” faces a potentially difficult progression through the Senate.
