Democrats to force vote on restoring Afghan TPS

• Two House Democrats plan to introduce a discharge petition to force a vote on restoring TPS for Afghan nationals.
• The vote is scheduled for Monday night when Congress returns.
• Rep. Jason Crow (R-Colo.), a veteran who served in Afghanistan, will file the petition.
• Advocates hope to prevent scheduled deportation flights by reinstating the protections.
• The TPS protections were scrapped under President Trump.
