Summary

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act," aims to repeal the federal government's authority to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) by eliminating Section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The legislation mandates that all existing grants of Temporary Protected Status would terminate immediately upon the bill's enactment, regardless of their original designation or expiration date. Any alien whose TPS is terminated under this Act would then be required to depart the United States not later than 60 days after the enactment date. After this 60-day period, these individuals would cease to be considered lawfully present in the country, thereby losing any legal basis for their continued stay and facing potential deportation.
