Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to reform temporary protected status, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill proposes significant reforms to immigration policies, focusing on several key areas. First, it modifies Temporary Protected Status (TPS) by requiring Congressional approval for designating a foreign state for TPS, limiting designations to 12 months, and mandating specific conditions such as armed conflicts, environmental disasters, or extraordinary circumstances that prevent safe return. The bill also changes rules for unaccompanied alien children by modifying screening and transfer procedures, and restricting special immigrant juvenile status. Additionally, the bill repeals the cancellation of removal provisions, prohibits certain identification documents for air travel (like the CBP One Mobile Application), and significantly reforms immigration parole by limiting the circumstances under which individuals can be paroled into the United States. Specifically, the parole reforms include strict definitions of urgent humanitarian reasons, a cap of 1,000 paroles per fiscal year, restrictions on employment for paroled individuals, and requirements for detailed reporting to Congressional committees. The overall intent appears to be creating more stringent immigration controls and reducing discretionary pathways for entering or remaining in the United States.
