What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill makes several changes to immigration laws. It requires Congress, rather than the Department of Homeland Security, to grant Temporary Protected Status to people from certain countries, and it limits that status to 12 months at a time. The bill also requires that unaccompanied children who are not allowed into the country be sent back to their home country, removes the ability to cancel deportation or adjust immigration status for certain non-U.S. nationals, and limits when the government can grant temporary admission into the country to specific situations like a close family member's imminent death. It also stops certain forms of identification, including a Notice to Appear from the Department of Homeland Security, from being used at airport security checkpoints.
