Addresses Temporary Protected Status designations including Ukraine. Ukraine's TPS was extended for 18 months through October 19, 2026, but legislative codification would provide more permanent protection for displaced Ukrainians.
Why This Bill Matters
Ukraine's TPS designation expires in October 2026 -- legislative codification would give displaced Ukrainians stable, long-term protection that cannot be revoked by executive action alone.
Last Action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

AI-powered analysis based on actual bill text
H.R. 6946 - the Temporary Protected Status Reform Act of 2026 - introduced by Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX-38), would terminate TPS designations for countries that have held the status for an extended period, including Ukraine. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to add a mandatory termination trigger for long-running TPS designations, arguing that TPS was intended to be temporary and that multi-decade extensions have exceeded congressional intent. This bill is directly opposed to H.R. 3104 and represents the threat that makes the Ukrainian Adjustment Act urgent.
Mandatory TPS Termination Trigger
Adds a new subsection to the INA requiring automatic termination of TPS designations that have been in effect for a specified period, regardless of conditions in the designated country. Ukraine's TPS designation would be among those terminated.
Congressional Findings on TPS Duration
The bill's findings section argues that TPS was intended to be temporary, that repeated extensions have created de facto permanent status, and that Congress - not the executive branch - should determine when TPS ends.
Separation of Executive Discretion
Removes the Secretary of Homeland Security's discretion to extend TPS designations beyond the statutory termination trigger, transferring that authority to Congress.
H.R. 6946 is the legislative threat that makes H.R. 3104 urgent. If it passes, approximately 240,000 Ukrainians currently on TPS would lose their legal status and face deportation - back to a country under active Russian bombardment. Rep. Hunt's bill has zero cosponsors, but its introduction signals that TPS termination has congressional support in some quarters. The best counter is to pass H.R. 3104 before H.R. 6946 gains momentum.
