What this bill would do

The "End Unaccountable Amnesty Act" aims to reform temporary protected status and other immigration procedures. It changes how foreign states are designated for temporary protected status, requiring specific findings regarding armed conflict or environmental disasters and limiting designations to 12-month periods. The bill also modifies the treatment of unaccompanied alien children, requiring the transfer of custody to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and initiating removal proceedings for those who do not meet specific criteria. It repeals the cancellation of removal and implements new restrictions on identification documents used for air travel. Additionally, the act significantly reforms immigration parole by limiting its use to specific categories and urgent humanitarian reasons.
