H.R.8460

Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act

Introduced·4/23/26

The Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act repeals the authority to grant temporary protected status.

The Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act repeals the authority to grant temporary protected status, effectively ending the status for all current beneficiaries. Those with temporary protected status must leave the United States within 60 days of the act's enactment and will no longer be considered lawfully present in the country after that period. The act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate Section 244, which previously allowed for the granting of temporary protected status.
