HR 10123: STOP Improper Licensing Act

The STOP Improper Licensing Act requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to audit state procedures for issuing commercial driver's licenses to non-residents within three years of enactment. The audit focuses on identifying cases where licenses were issued without verifying lawful presence or were retained after an individual's legal status expired. States found to have significant compliance issues must implement corrective measures, with those having error rates over 25 percent subject to annual follow-up audits for three years. If a state fails to respond to required actions, the federal government can withhold all FMCSA funding until the state returns to compliance.

Topics ✗ ImmigrationOpposes ImmigrationBill mandates audits of CDL issuance to non-residents specifically to verify lawful presence and enforce removal of licenses after status expires, restricting access for undocumented immigrants.85% confidence

S 1206: Judicial Relief Clarification Act of 2025

This bill prevents U.S. federal courts from issuing orders (such as injunctions, stays, or declarations) that stop enforcement of laws against people or entities not directly involved in a lawsuit (non-parties). It requires that such orders only apply if a non-party is represented through a party acting under standard legal rules. The law applies to all federal courts, including those in U.S. territories, and modifies related procedures for temporary restraining orders and declaratory judgments to enforce this restriction. Its core change limits court authority to affect non-parties regarding statutes, regulations, or government actions.

Topics ✗ ImmigrationOpposes ImmigrationBill restricts judicial relief for immigrants by limiting court orders that could protect non-parties from immigration enforcement actions, thereby weakening legal protections for immigrants.85% confidence

HR 569: Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025

Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 This bill limits birthright citizenship by redefining what it means to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Currently, a person born in the United States and subject to U.S. jurisdiction is entitled to citizenship. Under the bill, a person is subject to U.S. jurisdiction if he or she is born to a parent who is (1) a U.S. citizen or national, (2) a lawful permanent resident residing in the United States, or (3) a non-U.S. national ( alien under federal law) with a lawful immigration status who is performing active service in the Armed Forces. The bill does not affect the citizenship or nationality status of any person born before the bill's enactment date.

HR 3725: Preventing the Abuse of Immigration Parole Act

This bill would reform immigration parole by requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant temporary entry only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian needs or significant public benefit, reversing what the bill describes as systemic overuse. It imposes a strict annual cap of 3,000 paroles starting in fiscal year 2029, restricts parole for nationals of designated "countries of concern" without a State Department waiver, and allows states to sue if they claim financial harm exceeding $100 from parole decisions. The bill directly affects immigrants seeking temporary entry and DHS officials administering the program. Key mechanisms include the new cap, country restrictions, and state lawsuit provisions to enforce compliance.

HR 547: No Child Tax Credit for Illegals Act of 2025

This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to require a valid Social Security Number (SSN) for all qualifying children claimed on the Child Tax Credit. Specifically, it mandates that taxpayers must include the SSN of both the taxpayer (or both spouses on a joint return) and each qualifying child on their tax return to claim the credit. The requirement applies to all taxpayers except members of the Armed Forces (who may use a spouse's SSN), and excludes individuals without an SSN issued to a U.S. citizen or under specific Social Security Act provisions. The change takes effect for taxable years beginning after the bill's enactment date.

HR 4092: Protect RAIL Act

HR 4092, the Protect RAIL Act, amends U.S. immigration law to make certain crimes involving stolen goods transported by carriers (like trains, trucks, or ships) grounds for denying entry or deporting non-citizens. It adds new inadmissibility and deportability provisions for anyone convicted of theft from interstate or foreign shipments under Title 18, Section 659 of the U.S. Code. The bill directly affects non-citizens who commit these specific theft offenses, making them ineligible to enter the U.S. or subject to removal. This changes immigration consequences for existing criminal offenses, not the crimes themselves.

S 84: Sarah's Law

This bill requires mandatory detention for certain noncitizens (aliens) charged with crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury, specifically those who entered without inspection, had a revoked temporary visa, or fall under specific immigration categories. It directly affects noncitizens facing such criminal charges and crime victims or their families. Key provisions mandate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to notify victims (or their families if deceased) about the alien’s identity, immigration status, custody details, and removal efforts. The bill also clarifies that these requirements do not override existing victim rights under other laws.

HR 4565: No DOT Funds for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill prohibits the Department of Transportation from providing any federal grants or funds to local governments (including cities, counties, or other state subdivisions) that are classified as "sanctuary cities." A sanctuary city is defined as any local government that restricts sharing immigration status information with federal authorities or refuses to comply with certain immigration detainer requests from Homeland Security. The Secretary of Transportation may grant a limited waiver for specific projects if they certify it serves national interest and notify Congress 15 days in advance. The law directly affects jurisdictions with policies limiting cooperation on immigration enforcement, withholding all DOT funding for transportation projects.

HR 273: REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025

This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security to implement the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) as outlined in a 2019 policy memo. It requires migrants seeking asylum at the U.S. border to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed, rather than being allowed to stay in the U.S. pending a hearing. The bill does not create new rules but mandates the reinstatement of a policy that was previously in effect from 2019 to 2021. This would directly affect asylum seekers arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border. The policy change would apply to all migrants covered by the existing MPP framework.

HR 30: Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act

This bill amends U.S. immigration law to deny entry to noncitizens convicted of or admitting to certain violent crimes, and to make them deportable. It directly affects noncitizens who have been convicted of or admitted to sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse/neglect, or violating protection orders involving threats of violence. Key provisions add these offenses as grounds for denying entry (inadmissibility) under Section 212(a)(2) and as grounds for deportation (deportability) under Section 237(a)(2). The law specifies that domestic violence and protection order violations are included regardless of whether the jurisdiction received specific federal grant funding.
