Elizabeth Warren criticized President Donald Trump for refusing to sign a bipartisan housing bill unless Congress first passes his Save America Act. Warren also criticized a Supreme Court ruling affecting Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians.
The article reports that a bipartisan housing bill co-sponsored by Warren is stalled after Trump said he would not sign it unless Congress first passes the Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Warren said lawmakers from both parties had supported the housing measure and urged Trump to sign it. Rep. Chip Roy called on the Senate to advance the voting proposal, while Speaker Mike Johnson met with Trump to try to break the impasse.
Warren also criticized the Supreme Court’s decision allowing the administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for thousands of Haitians and Syrians, warning of effects on immigrants in Massachusetts. A Homeland Security general counsel praised the decision, saying TPS is intended to be temporary.
