Representative Ayanna Pressley sponsored the legislation seeking to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in the US.
Six House Republicans joined Democrats to advance H.R. 965, a bill extending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians for three years. The procedural motion passed 219-209 despite criticism from conservative circles.

CBS News frames the successful discharge petition as a humanitarian win spearheaded by Pressley to protect "essential" community members.
