S 5427: Subterranean Border Defense Act

The Subterranean Border Defense Act amends existing national defense law to require the government to submit annual reports on operations aimed at countering illicit cross-border tunnels. This provision mandates that these reports be submitted each year following the initial submission, ensuring ongoing oversight of tunnel interdiction efforts. The bill directly affects federal agencies responsible for border security and counter-narcotics operations by establishing a recurring reporting obligation.

HRES 1539: Affirming the commitment of the House of Representatives to defend the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and to oppose efforts to intimidate voters, suppress the vote, or interfere with free and fair elections.

This House resolution reaffirms the chamber's commitment to defending the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments by opposing actions perceived as voter intimidation or suppression. It specifically condemns the deployment of armed federal agents or immigration enforcement personnel near polling places and calls on the Department of Homeland Security to confirm that such operations will not occur during the 2026 elections. The bill also opposes the creation of a national database of confidential voter registration information and rejects legislation requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration. Additionally, it supports restoring federal preclearance protections for voting laws and calls on the Speaker of the House to promptly administer oaths of office to duly elected representatives.

SJRES 213: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security relating to "Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Department of Homeland Security rule that would have established fixed admission periods and specific extension procedures for nonimmigrant academic students, exchange visitors, and foreign media representatives. If enacted, the bill would prevent this immigration policy from taking effect by using the congressional review process outlined in federal law. The measure directly affects individuals entering the United States under these specific nonimmigrant visa categories by maintaining their current status rather than subjecting them to the new time limits proposed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

HR 10225: No Federal Taxpayer-Funded Housing for Illegal Aliens Act of 2026

The No Federal Taxpayer-Funded Housing for Illegal Aliens Act of 2026 prohibits the use of federal funds to provide housing assistance to individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States. The bill defines covered housing assistance broadly to include rental help, vouchers, mortgage support, utility bills, hotel stays, and various stabilization services aimed at securing or maintaining a home. Federal agency heads must enforce this ban by requiring fund recipients to certify compliance, monitoring their activities, and imposing civil penalties or periods of ineligibility for any violations. The prohibition does not apply to funds used specifically for enforcing immigration or criminal laws.

HR 10222: No HUD Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill would prohibit any state or local government designated as a "sanctuary jurisdiction" from receiving grant funds distributed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A jurisdiction is defined as a sanctuary if it has laws, policies, or practices that restrict officials from sharing information about an individual's immigration status or from complying with federal requests to detain or notify about the release of individuals. The funding restriction would apply to grants distributed 180 days after the bill's enactment. To determine which jurisdictions qualify for this ineligibility, the HUD Secretary is required to consult with the Secretary of Homeland Security.

HRES 1486: Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

H.R. 1486 is a resolution introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach President Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill alleges that the President violated his constitutional oath by transforming federal immigration agencies into unaccountable paramilitary forces that commit unjustified killings, cover up misconduct, and terrorize communities. Key provisions cite specific incidents involving the deaths of civilians and the obstruction of state and local investigations as evidence of these abuses. If passed, the resolution would formally exhibit articles of impeachment to the Senate for a subsequent trial.

S 5371: Stopping Border Surges Act

The Stopping Border Surges Act proposes significant changes to U.S. immigration law regarding unaccompanied children and asylum seekers. It mandates that unaccompanied alien children be repatriated to their home countries if they do not meet specific criteria, while also allowing for the detention of families who entered the country together for misdemeanor border-crossing charges. For asylum applicants, the bill restricts eligibility to those arriving at designated ports of entry and shortens the deadline to file an application from one year to six months. It introduces a "safe third country" provision that can bar asylum claims if an individual transited through another nation without seeking protection there first. Additionally, the legislation requires audio or video recording of expedited removal interviews, imposes criminal penalties for asylum fraud, and terminates asylum status if an individual voluntarily returns to their home country.

HR 10259: DHS Community Consultation Act of 2026

The DHS Community Consultation Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to consult with local officials and community members before building or leasing any immigration detention facility. The bill mandates that the department assess potential impacts on local infrastructure, such as water, power, and roads, while holding public meetings and allowing a 60-day period for public comment. Additionally, it prohibits the construction of new facilities in municipalities that have officially banned them and forbids using military bases or converting non-residential structures like warehouses into detention centers. The legislation also requires coordination with local health authorities to create protocols for treating and containing contagious disease outbreaks within these facilities.

S 5259: End Housing Welfare for Illegal Aliens Act

The End Housing Welfare for Illegal Aliens Act would prohibit states and local governments designated as "sanctuary jurisdictions" from receiving Community Development Block Grants, defining such jurisdictions as those that restrict information sharing or compliance with federal immigration detainers. The bill also codifies a "mixed-status" rule that prevents housing assistance programs from providing prorated benefits to households where some members are ineligible, requiring full eligibility verification for all family members before any funds are distributed. Additionally, it mandates that public housing agencies affirmatively verify the citizenship status of applicants and expands the scope of these restrictions to include specific federal housing programs like Section 811 and Section 202.

S 5325: Delaney Hall Closure Act

The Delaney Hall Closure Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to stop all immigration detention operations at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, within 90 days of the law's enactment. The bill prohibits the Department from entering into any new contracts or agreements to use this facility for detaining individuals in federal custody. Additionally, it mandates the termination of existing operational contracts for the center, limiting the government's financial liability to payments for services already rendered before the termination takes effect.
