This article examines how immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) withstand the dehumanizing force of U.S. citizenship regimes. The excessive weight of the state disciplining technologies in daily life constitutes one of the most excruciating injuries a person with TPS suffers. Drawing from Black studies and a Black feminist disability framework, and taking inspiration from my own experience living with TPS, I argue that the everyday life of persons with TPS both challenges state citizenship and signals counternormative genealogies of human connections and collective existence.
