40-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill would permanently eliminate the Temporary Protected Status program, removing it entirely from U.S. law so it could never be used again. Anyone currently holding TPS would lose that status immediately on the day the bill is signed. Those people would then have 60 days to leave the United States before they would be considered unlawfully present.
The bill affects hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals currently living in the U.S. under TPS from countries including El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, and Venezuela, among others.
People who currently rely on TPS for the legal right to live and work in the U.S. would lose that authorization immediately. After the 60-day window, those who remain would no longer have legal status in the country.
