The proposal would eliminate the government's ability to grant temporary protected status, a program that currently allows foreign nationals from countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or epidemics to live and work in the United States temporarily. This change would affect hundreds of thousands of immigrants currently in the country under this protection, potentially requiring them to leave or face deportation. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review.
