On the recordJuly 23, 2026
For generations, Massachusetts has been shaped by our immigrant communities. We have a moral duty to protect Haitian TPS holders and provide them with a permanent pathway to citizenship. I am utterly disappointed that Republicans blocked passage of the bill I introduced with Senator Blunt Rochester to designate Haiti for TPS until after the next presidential election. Haitian TPS holders deserve the stability of preserving their status, the dignity to live without fear, and the security of not being returned to danger. I will not stop in my fight to protect the Haitian TPS community.
