This bill would eliminate the temporary protected status (TPS) program entirely, which currently allows the federal government to grant temporary legal residency to foreign nationals from countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other humanitarian crises. If enacted, all individuals currently holding TPS would be required to leave the United States within 60 days of the bill's passage, after which they would no longer be considered lawfully present in the country. The legislation affects hundreds of thousands of people from countries including El Salvador, Honduras, Syria, Ukraine, and others who have been granted this temporary protection status. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond the 60-day departure requirement for current TPS holders. This represents a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy by eliminating a humanitarian program that has been in place since 1990.
