If the Attorney General does not determine under subparagraph (A) that a foreign state (or part of such foreign state) no longer meets the conditions for designation under paragraph (1), the period of designation of the foreign state is extended for an additional period of 6 months (or, in the discretion of the Attorney General, a period of 12 or 18 months).
Assessments
The verified commitment shows Soto was among the members for whom H.R. 10297 was introduced, so there is documented same-term effort toward requiring DHS to designate El Salvador for TPS. But the verified bill passage only states what the introduced bill would require, not that it became law. The later official passage says an El Salvador TPS announcement was still pending, while the prior DHS notice only extended TPS through September 9, 2026 and is not evidence that Soto-backed legislation achieved the promised designation. Because enactment or final designation is not proven as of 2026-09-14, the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
