AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people from Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon, starting 180 days after it becomes law. The Secretary of Homeland Security could not designate these countries for TPS again unless a later law expressly allows it. People losing TPS would have to leave the United States by the termination date and would no longer be considered lawfully present, unless they hold another lawful status such as a green card, a visa, or asylum. TPS-based work permits would expire on the termination date and could not be extended. During the 180 days before termination, people could not be removed solely because their TPS is ending.
