Congressman Greg Landsman, who represents Ohio’s first district, announced a bill on Jan. 19 that would provide Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Mauritanian immigrants living in the United States. The TPS for Mauritania Act, introduced by Landsman, Congressman Mike Carey (R-OH-15), Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (D-OH-03), and Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), would protect Mauritanians living in the U.S. from deportation for up to 18 months.
