The current-code listing states 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(5)(A): "There is no judicial review" of determinations on TPS designation, termination, or extension.
Assessments
The promised outcome has not been enacted: current 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(5)(A) still says there is no judicial review of TPS designation, termination, or extension decisions. Moulton did make a serious, directly relevant legislative effort by introducing the TPS Relief Act in June 2026 to restore federal court review and overturn the Supreme Court's Mullin v. Doe interpretation, but the bill remained only introduced/referred to committee and had not changed the law. Under the rubric, that is a failed delivery with effort credit rather than partial or delivered.
