WASHINGTON, DC- Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) was joined by 30 Senate colleagues in putting forward legislation to provide qualified Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) recipients a path to legal permanent residency.

Recently, the Trump Administration has revoked TPS for an estimated 563,000 recipients from five countries – Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, Cameroon, and Nepal – and while there have been legal challenges filed against this action, the Supreme Court has temporarily allowed the revocation to stand.

TPS is a temporary, legal immigration status granted to foreign citizens who are endangered by conditions in their home country resulting from extraordinary events such as ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or epidemic. TPS status is granted for set periods ranging from six to 18 months, requiring the Department of Homeland Security to extend a country’s status on a recurring basis. Each time a country is recertified, recipients must reapply and pass a thorough background check. Recent estimates found there are approximately 860,000 people with TPS in the United States.

Meanwhile, deferred enforced departure (DED) is a temporary and discretionary administrative stay of removal granted to foreign citizens from designated countries. Unlike TPS, a DED designation emanates from the President’s constitutional powers to conduct foreign relations and has no statutory basis. Grants are usually in response to war, civil unrest, or natural disasters, through an executive order or presidential memorandum that provides eligibility guidelines.


“America has long used the TPS and DED programs to offer special legal protections to individuals in the United States whose lives would be put at extreme risk if forced to return to their countries of origin. As they’ve sought safety and stability here, TPS and DED recipients have built new lives in America, living here legally for years – sometimes decades – and making important contributions to our communities. But the Trump Administration is threatening both the lives they have built and the safety of these individuals – forcing TPS recipients to return to dangerous places like Haiti, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and more. This bill offers much-needed certainty to TPS and DED recipients – providing a path to stay safely in the U.S. and continue to call America their home,” said Senator Van Hollen.

Senator Van Hollen was joined in introducing this legislation by Senators Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Andy Kim (D-N.J.) Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).

Yo democrats le matrai sponsor gareko bill senate committee bata pani pass hudaina. Sab political stunt matrai ho. Republican ko euta matrai positive approval bhankeo immigration ho ahile. Kunai halat ma pani ahile democrats sanga milera immigration amnesty bill pass garna didaina.

This will pass only if they add it on the big ugly budget bill.otherwise this is just stunt to lure immigrants

Hollen le gare ni pollen le gare ni kehi hune wala chhaina . Esto sign garna thaalera its not legal bhanna thaleko jamana dekhi ho . Only that evil taaaalu and that doll can do ot .

This bill faces significant challenges in Congress due to the Republican majority, with none of the Republicans openly supporting it. I believe there are some Republican congressmen from heavily immigrant districts who are hesitant to oppose Trump's agenda but support the bill.

A positive outcome may arise from this bill. If the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is contested in court, a judge might view the case differently, considering that the legislative branch is attempting to take action. This could lead to a decision that prevents cancellation and allows more time to assess the legislative branch's plans for TPS holders.

Democrats are aware that Trump requires assistance to pass his big beautiful bill, as he currently struggles to secure full support from Republicans. Democrats hold some leverage if Trump seeks their help to advance his significant legislation.
In my opinion, Trump has a greater likelihood of passing his major bill, excluding stringent immigration priorities, with Democratic support rather than relying on hardline Republicans who are entirely opposed to increasing the federal deficit.
