End DED Act

HR 4200, the End DED Act, prohibits federal funding for the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) program, which provides temporary immigration protections to individuals from specific countries. It directly affects approximately 100,000 people currently covered under DED from nine nations (including Haiti, El Salvador, and Venezuela), who would lose their work authorization and travel privileges if the program is defunded. The bill’s key provision bans all federal funds from being used to implement or administer DED or any successor program. This addresses congressional concerns that DED - a policy created solely by executive action without statutory authority - undermines Congress’s constitutional power over immigration, which it delegated to Temporary Protected Status (TPS) instead.
