Thank you @RepMikeLawler for supporting Haitian TPS holders vital to our workforce and communities. By signing the petition to force a vote on HR 1689, he's standing up for healthcare workers, small biz employees, and families who keep our economy running ow.ly/ruG450Yrqp0

Results from Tuesday's primary election in Texas reinforce warnings from ABIC Action and @comitede100's recent voter analysis showing backlash to ICE enforcement overreach could erase the GOP’s 2024 gains among Hispanic voters.

Diana Flores, Vice President of the Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce & Dallas College Board Trustee, said Latino voters will no longer be the "sleeping giant" voter bloc at the Texas post-primary briefing hosted by Comité de 100

"I'm talking to Latinos across the state and across the country [they're] saying 'We're done...We thought we were going to get a secure border and deportation of criminals, that's not what we got.'"-Co-Chair of Comité de 100 and CEO of Precision Task Group, Massey Villarreal

An ABIC Action and @comitede100 analysis showed the Latino vote will be key in the midterms. Business leaders argue Latino voters support deporting criminals but want protections for long-term residents, work permits, and legal status for Dreamers. washingtontimes.com/news/2026/feb/…

If TPS for roughly 330,000 Haitians is revoked as planned, it could have ripple effects far beyond immigrant communities, especially in elder care. Immigrants make up 28% of the direct care workforce, and Haitians are a critical part of that labor pool. thebulwark.com/p/trump-attack…
