HR 10045: Protect American Values Act

The Protect American Values Act prohibits the use of federal funds to implement, administer, or enforce a specific Department of Homeland Security rule regarding the "Public Charge" ground of inadmissibility. This legislation directly affects immigrants and mixed-status families by preventing the government from using public benefits as a factor in determining eligibility for lawful permanent resident status. The bill includes a statement of congressional intent arguing that the targeted rule would restrict access to essential services like food, medical care, and housing, while also negatively impacting state and local economies. By cutting off funding for this specific policy, the act aims to maintain current immigration standards and prevent what Congress describes as an unauthorized reversal of long-standing law.

HR 10040: No TSA Data for ICE Act

This bill, titled the No TSA Data for ICE Act, prohibits the Transportation Security Administration from sharing passenger data with U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It specifically bars these agencies from using TSA information or data from private brokers to perform immigration enforcement functions. Additionally, the legislation prevents the denial, suspension, or early termination of Trusted Traveler programs like PreCheck and Global Entry if an individual's participation in First Amendment-protected activities is the reason. The law defines the restricted data as personally identifiable information about flight passengers obtained from the TSA or private sector entities.

S 5197: State-Sponsored Visa Pilot Program Act of 2026

This bill creates a new visa category that allows U.S. states to sponsor foreign nationals to come to the United States temporarily to work, invest capital, or contribute to local economic development. Under this program, a state must first get approval from the federal government to run its own specific rules regarding how these workers are employed and where they live, which can last for up to three years. The legislation requires these sponsored workers to pass background checks, pay bonds if their state chooses, and strictly adhere to the sponsoring state's regulations, with federal penalties including revocation of work authorization and removal for violations. Additionally, the bill includes provisions that generally exclude these workers from receiving federal means-tested benefits and establishes a system where states can adjust their future visa quotas based on how well they comply with program requirements.

HR 9944: TPS Review Act

The Temporary Protected Status Review Act restores the ability of courts to review decisions by the Department of Homeland Security to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for foreign nationals. Under this bill, the government must publish detailed written findings explaining why a country no longer qualifies for TPS protection, and these decisions would be subject to a legal challenge in federal court. If a TPS designation is terminated, the affected individuals would remain in the United States with their current status and work authorization intact while the legal challenge is pending. Additionally, the legislation requires the government to follow specific administrative procedures, such as considering all available evidence and avoiding bias, before making any termination decisions.
