Ends temporary protected status for people from Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon.
Those affected would lose their legal right to live and work in the U.S. They would need to leave the country within 180 days, unless they hold another valid immigration status.
Today, the Secretary of Homeland Security can grant, extend, or end Temporary Protected Status for countries facing crises. This status allows people from those countries to live and work legally in the U.S. After this bill, Temporary Protected Status would automatically end for Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon 180 days after the bill becomes law. People from these countries with TPS would lose their legal status and work permits. They would be required to leave, unless they have another legal immigration status. The Secretary could not redesignate these countries for TPS again.
