HR 10149: For the relief of Maria Cordova.

This bill grants Maria Cordova eligibility for a U.S. immigrant visa or adjustment to lawful permanent resident status, bypassing standard immigration restrictions that might otherwise apply to her. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to cancel any existing orders for her removal or deportation and protects her from future removal based on grounds recorded in government files at the time the law is passed. To receive this benefit, she must file her application and pay required fees within two years of the bill's enactment. The legislation also ensures that granting her status does not increase the total number of visas available to natives of her birth country and explicitly denies her natural parents, brothers, and sisters any immigration privileges based solely on their relationship to her.

HR 10105: Stop ICE Price Gouging Act

The Stop ICE Price Gouging Act caps the prices of goods sold in commissaries at immigration detention facilities, limiting markups to 5 percent for essential items like hygiene products and communication supplies, and 35 percent for nonessential items. The bill prohibits additional service fees, commissions, or revenue-sharing arrangements between contractors and government agencies. If a detainee is overcharged, the agency must provide a refund, or if that is not possible due to transfer or release, the excess funds are deposited into a new Detainee Welfare Fund dedicated to purchasing recreational, educational, and electronic items for detainees. Enforcement involves regular audits by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General and quarterly compliance reports submitted to Congress, while allowing states to maintain stricter price limits if they exist.

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 10111: Oversight Access Act

The Oversight Access Act prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from blocking Members of Congress or their staff from entering immigration detention facilities for oversight purposes. The bill also forbids requiring advance notice for these visits and bans any temporary changes to a facility that would alter what visitors observe compared to normal conditions. If the Inspector General determines that the Secretary has significantly failed to follow these rules, they must report the violation to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees within 30 days.

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.
