The introduced bill text amends INA section 244(b)(5) so TPS terminations become final agency actions subject to judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation authorizing judicial review of Temporary Protected Status terminations, not necessarily to enact it. Plaskett fulfilled that by cosponsoring H.R. 9944, the Temporary Protected Status Review Act, during her current federal term. The bill text directly matches the promised policy by making TPS termination decisions subject to judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act. Because the legislation had only been introduced and referred to committee, this is delivery of the support commitment rather than enactment of the underlying policy.
