requested the Trump Administration to redesignate Lebanon for Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
Support redesignating Lebanon for Temporary Protected Status.
Occurrences
Evidence
DHS announced that the Secretary of Homeland Security was designating Lebanon for Temporary Protected Status for 18 months, beginning November 27, 2024, and ending May 27, 2026. The notice says eligible Lebanese nationals who continuously resided in the United States since October 16, 2024, and were continuously physically present since November 27, 2024, could apply for TPS.
The notice states DHS determined an 18-month TPS designation was warranted because of armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in Lebanon. It also states the Secretary determined statutory conditions were met and designated Lebanon for TPS for 18 months.
The same Federal Register docket lists a newer related document published on 05/29/2026 with the action: Notice of extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation, titled Extension of Lebanon Designation for Temporary Protected Status.
Assessments
DHS formally designated Lebanon for Temporary Protected Status for 18 months beginning November 27, 2024, and later docket activity indicates an extension notice in 2026. Because Debbie Dingell was serving in federal office when the TPS designation occurred, the promised policy outcome was achieved during her tenure. The evidence does not require an effort-only badge because the underlying outcome was delivered.
