History

Historical Context

Congress enacted the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act in September 1996, tightening enforcement and establishing three- and ten-year re-entry bars. After the Department of Homeland Security took over immigration in 2002, it administered Temporary Protected Status for over 400,000 people by 2015. A 6-3 Supreme Court ruling in 2024 ended TPS for 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, prompting bipartisan restoration efforts.
