HR 696 United States House · 119th Congress

End Unaccountable Amnesty Act

HR 696, the "End Unaccountable Amnesty Act," restricts immigration benefits by making Temporary Protected Status (TPS) more difficult to obtain. The bill requires new legislation for each country's TPS designation, mandates specific findings about armed conflict or disasters, and limits TPS to 12-month periods with possible 12-month extensions. It also limits immigration parole to 1,000 people annually for specific urgent humanitarian reasons or public benefits, and repeals "cancellation of removal" provisions that allowed some individuals to adjust their immigration status. These changes primarily affect immigrants seeking temporary protections or parole in the United States.
