S 5331: Protect American Values Act of 2026

The Protect American Values Act of 2026 prohibits the use of federal funds to implement or enforce a specific Department of Homeland Security rule regarding the "Public Charge" ground of inadmissibility. This legislation directly affects immigrants and their families by preventing the government from using financial resources to carry out policies that could restrict access to essential services like food, medical care, and housing. The bill includes a statement of congressional intent arguing that the targeted rule would harm community health, increase poverty, and circumvent established immigration laws. By blocking funding for this specific regulatory action, the act aims to maintain current eligibility standards for public assistance without altering the underlying statutory framework.

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 9854: Citizenship Act of 2026

The Citizenship Act of 2026 redefines the term "invader" to include individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States or those seeking entry specifically for the purpose of giving birth. Under this legislation, children born in the U.S. to these designated invaders would not be entitled to birthright citizenship if their mothers were not lawfully admitted or if the parents do not meet specific residency requirements. The bill also explicitly excludes children born through commercial surrogacy contracts involving nationals of certain countries from acquiring citizenship. Additionally, the act declares that courts cannot review the President's or Congress's determination that an invasion is occurring.

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.

HR 9897: Trump-Reagan Election Enforcement Act

This bill, known as the Trump-Reagan Election Enforcement Act, would require all U.S. states to implement strict new rules proving U.S. citizenship for anyone registering to vote in federal elections. Under the proposed law, states that fail to enforce these specific documentation requirements by fiscal year 2027 would face federal funding penalties, with 10 percent of certain transportation funds withheld initially and an additional 5 percent cut each subsequent year. The legislation mandates that applicants provide specific documents like a passport or certified birth certificate, requires states to actively remove noncitizens from voter rolls, and allows private lawsuits or criminal charges against election officials who register ineligible individuals.

S 5071: Children's Safe Welcome Act of 2026

The Children's Safe Welcome Act of 2026 establishes comprehensive standards for the treatment, care, and placement of noncitizen children in immigration custody, primarily affecting the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. Key provisions include a prohibition on separating children from their parents or guardians unless there is clear and convincing evidence of an imminent threat, alongside requirements for rapid family reunification and the elimination of family detention facilities. The bill mandates that children be housed in state-licensed facilities that provide trauma-informed care, adequate medical and educational services, and access to legal representation, while also phasing out large congregate care settings in favor of family-based placements. Furthermore, it creates an independent Office of the Ombudsperson to monitor compliance, investigates age assessments that ban invasive medical procedures, and enforces strict data privacy rules to prevent information from custody cases from being used in immigration removal proceedings.
