Evidence

The Federal Register notice says Yemen TPS is terminated effective 11:59 p.m. local time on May 4, 2026.

This is concrete partial delivery on the claim: one of the targeted TPS designations was actually terminated, including the related work authorization cutoff tied to the termination date.

USCIS lists Somalia TPS as ending on March 17, 2026, but that termination has been temporarily stayed by a judge.

This shows a serious termination attempt that did not fully take effect, so it supports only partial delivery and also indicates the promise remains unresolved for Somalia.

USCIS announced termination of Syria TPS, but that termination was stayed by a judge and has not fully taken effect.

This is another concrete but blocked attempt to end TPS, so it supports only partial delivery for the Syria portion of the claim.

DHS set Lebanon TPS registration through May 27, 2026 and authorized initial applicants to apply for TPS and work authorization during that period.

Lebanon remained actively designated, which cuts against the promise and shows the Lebanon piece was not delivered.

DHS extended Sudan TPS for 18 months through October 19, 2026 and automatically extended certain employment authorization documents through April 19, 2026.

Sudan remained protected and work-authorized, so this is contrary evidence for the termination/expulsion part of the claim.

Assessments

partial later_term

The promise was only partly achieved. Yemen TPS was terminated and related work authorization was cut off on a set date, and Somalia and Syria also saw concrete termination attempts, but those were blocked or stayed. Sudan remained under TPS extension, Lebanon remained designated, and the broader promised package was not completed: there is no showing that all listed TPS designations were terminated, that affected individuals were required to self-deport, or that DHS was barred from redesignating those countries without congressional approval. Because the realized actions were incomplete and appear to have been carried out mainly by DHS rather than clearly delivered through Hunt's own enacted legislation or materially documented leadership, this fits partial rather than full delivery.
