EOIR's TPS page lists Burma (Myanmar)'s most recent notice as the November 25, 2025 termination notice; the page also states TPS designation and termination authority rests with the Secretary of Homeland Security after consultation.

Current official status is a terminated Burma TPS program, and the designation authority is executive, not congressional.

DHS announced that the Secretary of Homeland Security was designating Burma for TPS for 18 months, effective May 25, 2021 through November 25, 2022, allowing eligible Burmese nationals in the United States to apply for TPS, employment authorization, and travel authorization.

Official Federal Register notice shows the promised policy outcome was first provided during Huizenga's later congressional service, by DHS/USCIS rather than by legislation sponsored by Huizenga.

DHS announced that the Secretary was extending Burma TPS for 18 months from May 26, 2024 through November 25, 2025, and redesignating Burma so additional eligible nationals continuously residing in the United States since March 21, 2024 could apply.

Official 2024 action further extended and redesignated Burma TPS, showing the promise's substantive policy result was provided but through executive action, not apparent Huizenga-led congressional action.

The notice explains that INA section 244 authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consultation with appropriate agencies, to designate, extend, redesignate, or terminate TPS for a foreign state when statutory conditions are met.

The official notice identifies TPS designation authority as executive-branch authority held by the Homeland Security Secretary, supporting partial credit rather than full credit to a House member absent evidence of Huizenga sponsorship or material advancement.

DHS published notice terminating the designation of Burma for Temporary Protected Status, with the termination effective January 26, 2026, after the Secretary determined Burma no longer continued to meet TPS conditions.

Official termination notice shows Burma TPS was later reversed. This does not erase that TPS was provided, but it supports only partial fulfillment because the policy was temporary and not sustained as of later federal service.
