HR 9710: Third World Immigration Moratorium Act

This bill, known as the Third World Immigration Moratorium Act, would ban entry into the United States for individuals from 40 specific countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, and Venezuela, as well as those holding travel documents from the Palestinian Authority. The restrictions apply only to people currently outside the U.S. who do not already possess a valid visa, while exempting lawful permanent residents, dual nationals, athletes at major sporting events, and others with specific legal statuses. Although the ban is strict, the Secretary of Homeland Security retains the power to grant waivers for critical national interests, such as allowing witnesses to attend criminal trials. Additionally, the law requires government officials to submit a report to Congress every six months recommending whether to continue, modify, or end the entry prohibition.

HR 9662: Birthright CLAIM Act of 2026

This bill, known as the Birthright CLAIM Act of 2026, modifies existing laws to restrict automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who are not U.S. citizens or nationals. Under the new rules, a child born to two non-citizen parents would not be considered a citizen at birth if at least one parent is unlawfully present in the country or lacks lawful permanent residency. Additionally, the legislation extends the residency requirements for children born abroad to U.S. citizens, requiring a longer period of continuous residence before the child can claim citizenship. The bill also introduces a paternity verification process where DNA testing is mandatory to confirm a father's identity before the government issues citizenship documents like passports or Social Security numbers. If paternity cannot be verified through this testing, the child would not receive these documents until the verification is complete.

HR 9659: Fund Schools, Not ICE Act

The Fund Schools, Not ICE Act directs unspent funds originally allocated to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be transferred to the Department of Education for use in elementary and secondary school programs. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to sell eleven specific immigration detention warehouses that were purchased between January 1, 2026, and March 31, 2026. These measures aim to redirect financial resources from immigration enforcement toward educational initiatives while mandating the disposal of recently acquired detention facilities.

HRES 1431: Impeaching John Edwin Steele, Senior District Judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution formally impeaches Senior District Judge John Edwin Steele of the Middle District of Florida for high crimes and misdemeanors. The primary allegation is that he released Miakel Guerra Morales, a Cuban national convicted of aircraft piracy, from an ICE detention facility despite the individual posing a special danger to the public. The text claims the judge ignored federal regulations allowing detention for dangerous aliens and prioritized case management backlogs over national security and public safety. By ordering the release within 24 hours, the resolution argues the judge denied the executive branch time to pursue appellate review and protect the community. Consequently, the House seeks to remove the judge from office based on this specific judicial decision.

HR 9656: Illegal Alien Patient Reporting Act

This bill requires hospitals that receive federal health care funding to ask patients about their immigration status during admission and report the results to government agencies. Under the law, hospitals must include a specific statement on intake forms assuring patients that their answers will not affect their medical care or lead to a law enforcement report unless the patient is suspected of certain crimes. Hospitals must also submit quarterly reports detailing how many patients are citizens, lawful residents, or undocumented, along with the number of individuals who refused to answer or failed to provide proof of their legal status. The legislation prohibits hospitals from sharing personal identifying information with the government while allowing them to exclude non-compliant facilities from federal programs. Additionally, the bill mandates an annual report to Congress analyzing the costs of uncompensated care for undocumented patients and its impact on hospital services.

HR 9633: Birthright Citizenship Clarification Act of 2026

The Birthright Citizenship Clarification Act of 2026 would amend federal law to change how citizenship at birth is determined for children born in the United States. Under this proposal, a child born in the U.S. to parents who are present temporarily or unlawfully would not automatically receive citizenship, while also preserving historical exceptions for children of foreign diplomats and those born on foreign ships. The bill specifically defines temporary presence to include holders of student, work, tourist, and other nonimmigrant visas, as well as participants in the Visa Waiver Program. These changes would apply only to individuals born after the law takes effect, leaving the citizenship status of those born before that date unchanged.

HR 9562: Anchors Away Act

The Anchors Away Act modifies U.S. immigration laws to expand birthright citizenship and restrict entry for certain pregnant individuals. It clarifies that anyone born in the United States to a parent who is a citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or a member of the U.S. Armed Forces automatically acquires citizenship. Additionally, the bill makes it illegal for pregnant nonimmigrants who are not married to U.S. citizens to enter the country, though it allows entry for those seeking legitimate medical treatment for childbirth. These changes apply only to people born on or after the law's enactment and to new admission applications filed on or after that date.

HR 9514: Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act

The Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act restricts access to government-backed and private mortgage insurance for single-family homes to individuals who are U.S. citizens. Specifically, the bill amends laws governing the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac to require that borrowers for one-to-four-unit properties must be citizens to qualify for their mortgage products. This change directly affects foreign nationals and non-citizen residents who currently might purchase homes with these types of financing, effectively limiting their eligibility for these specific mortgage programs.

HRES 1394: Condemning prosecution policies that give preferential treatment to foreign nationals over United States citizens.

This resolution expresses strong disapproval of local prosecution policies that allegedly offer special leniency to foreign nationals compared to U.S. citizens. It argues that such practices endanger public safety and violate federal civil rights laws by failing to treat all individuals equally under the law. The text calls on state and local prosecutors to ignore immigration status when deciding how to handle criminal cases and urges the Department of Justice to investigate these alleged preferential treatments. Ultimately, the measure aims to ensure that every crime is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law regardless of the suspect's background.
