People from Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon would lose TPS after 180 days. Their TPS work permits would end too. They could stay only if they have another legal immigration status.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Temporary Protected Status Reform Act of 2026. is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on H.R. 6946: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people from Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon who currently have TPS. They would lose TPS after 180 days unless they have another legal way to stay. It also affects their families, employers, and communities if people lose work permission or must leave. The Department of Homeland Security would also lose the usual power to renew TPS for these countries without a new law from Congress.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would turn a legal protection into a deadline for many people who may have lived and worked in the United States for years. After 180 days, TPS would no longer protect people from these five countries unless they have another status. The bill also changes who controls future TPS decisions for these countries. The Department of Homeland Security could not act on its own under normal TPS rules; Congress would have to pass a new law first.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
