What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "TPS Review Act," aims to change how the government handles the ending of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). It updates the law to ensure that when the Secretary of Homeland Security decides to end a TPS designation, there is a clear process for judicial review. The bill requires the Secretary to provide written findings of fact and legal conclusions for such decisions. It also establishes that these termination decisions are subject to review in federal court. Furthermore, it defines these termination actions as "major rules" under the Administrative Procedure Act. Finally, the act provides specific protections for individuals while their cases are being reviewed in court.
