TPS Review Act Temporary Protected Status Review Act
To authorize judicial review of temporary protected status terminations, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9944, proposes to allow individuals whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) has been terminated to seek judicial review. TPS is a temporary immigration status granted to people from countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions that prevent people from returning safely.
If passed, the bill would allow those affected by the end of their TPS to challenge the decision in court. This means they could present their case to a judge to determine if the decision to end their TPS was fair and lawful. This could impact many individuals and families who rely on TPS for protection and the ability to stay in the U.S. legally.
As of July 23, 2026, the bill has just been introduced in the House and has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Rules for further consideration. No further actions have been taken yet.
