In a rare break with President Donald Trump on immigration, three Miami Republicans joined Democrats this week to help advance and pass legislation protecting Haitians from losing Temporary Protected Status, a move with immediate significance in South Florida, where one of the nation's largest Haitian communities has spent months warning of economic and humanitarian fallout if the program disappears.
The House voted 224-204 on Thursday to extend TPS protections for about 350,000 Haitians for three years, rebuking the administration as it continues trying to end the program through the courts.
