End Temporary Protected Status for Immigrants
If enacted, this bill would repeal the law that lets people get Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Any TPS grant in effect on the date of enactment would end that same day. If you have TPS, you would have to depart the United States within 60 days of enactment and would stop being lawfully present after those 60 days. You would likely lose work permission and other benefits tied to lawful presence.
