Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Meets With Haitian Leaders Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer met with Hervé H. Denis, the newly-appointed Haitian Ambassador to the United States, last week in Washington D.C. and promised to be an advocate of both the temporary protected status (TPS) of Haitian nationals and the Caribbean Basin Recovery Act. Schumer’s pledge came a day before a Brooklyn federal court judge filed an injunction on April 12 to maintain TPS for Haitians to remain in the United States until 2020 as Haiti recovers from damage sustained by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that occurred in 2010 and an outbreak of cholera that was brought to the island by UN relief workers. “As a representative of the large and vibrant Haitian-American community in New York, that has added so much to our state and nation, it was a pleasure to meet with the speaker of the House of Deputies and the Haitian ambassador to the U.S. I strongly support the effort to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for vulnerable Haitians now in America, as well as the extension of trade benefits between the U.S. and Haiti included in the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act,” said Schumer.
