BOSTON —

A bipartisan housing bill co-sponsored by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is stalled as President Donald Trump refuses to sign the measure.

The legislation is intended to increase the nation’s housing supply, lower housing costs and limit the number of single-family homes that large institutional investors and private equity firms can purchase.

Warren criticized the president during an appearance on WCVB’s “On the Record.”

“Donald Trump does not care about the economic survival of America’s working families,” the Democrat said.

Warren’s message to the president: “Sign the damn bill.”

Warren said lawmakers from both parties supported the legislation before Trump announced his opposition.

“Everybody’s out there saying, ‘My bill. I helped make this happen,’ right up until the man-child has a tantrum and announces he will not be signing it,” Warren said.

Trump has said he will not sign the housing bill unless Congress first passes his Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.

The proposal does not have enough support to pass the Senate.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said the Senate should move the measure forward.

“This is something that the American people want us to do,” Roy said. “Very clearly, this is something that the president of the United States wants to see accomplished.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson met with the president this week in an effort to break the impasse.

Roy said Senate Republicans should use every available procedural tool to advance the legislation.

“We’re trying to say that the Senate needs to move forward and to force this through using all of the tools at their disposal and to stop hiding behind fake thresholds that the Senate itself has put in place,” Roy said.

Warren reacts to Supreme Court’s TPS ruling

Warren also criticized the Supreme Court’s decision allowing the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for thousands of Haitians and Syrians, warning of its impact on immigrants in Massachusetts.

“The protections were meant to be there as long as there was still a threat at home. And for example, particularly with Haiti, that threat is bigger than ever,” Warren said.

Warren accused the president of targeting individuals who have complied with U.S. laws.

“These are not people who are here unlawfully. These are not people who are undocumented. These are people who followed the law, who listened to the United States of America,” she said.

Homeland Security’s general counsel praised the ruling, stating that TPS is intended to be temporary. He described the decision as “a win for the rule of law and common sense.”

The ruling is expected to have a significant impact on those relying on TPS to live and work in the United States and could lead to the deportation of thousands of immigrants in Massachusetts.

“This is a really ugly day for the people of the United States of America and a very hard personal day for us in Massachusetts,” Warren said.
