HR 6946 United States House · 119th Congress

Temporary Protected Status Reform Act of 2026.

HR 6946, the Temporary Protected Status Reform Act of 2026, would terminate TPS for nationals from Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon. It requires these individuals to depart the U.S. within 180 days of the law's enactment, unless they already hold other lawful immigration status (such as permanent residency, asylum, or another non-TPS visa). Employment authorization tied to TPS would expire on the termination date, and the Secretary of Homeland Security cannot redesignate these countries for TPS without new legislation. The bill explicitly states it does not require granting relief or limit existing immigration enforcement authority.
