Committee amends federal legislative priorities to seek TPS redeterminations for Haiti and Venezuela
Summary
The Rules Committee amended a federal legislative resolution to remove El Salvador (already extended) and add Haiti and Venezuela to the list of countries for which the city will seek Temporary Protected Status redesignation support.
The Rules Committee voted to amend a resolution in the city's 2025–26 federal legislative program to support redesignation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for certain countries.
Councilmember Soto Martinez moved an amendment to strike El Salvador — which the committee noted had already received an extension — and add Haiti and Venezuela to the list of countries for which the city will seek TPS redesignation. The clerk read the revised language instructing the CLA to prepare a revised resolution for the federal legislative program.
The committee approved the amended item on a roll call vote: Harris Dawson, Raman, Yaroslavsky and Soto Martinez voted yes; Councilmember Lee was absent. The amended resolution directs the CLA to seek action to redesignate TPS for Nicaragua, Honduras, Haiti and Venezuela as part of the city's federal legislative priorities.
The committee did not specify funding amounts or timelines in the motion; the CLA will return with the revised resolution language for council adoption as part of the 2025–26 federal legislative program.
