S 4786: Governors’ Right to Inspect Act of 2026

The Governors' Right to Inspect Act of 2026 allows state governors and designated public health officials to enter federal immigration detention facilities to check conditions related to health, safety, sanitation, and medical care. This authority applies to all U.S. detention centers, whether run directly by the government or by private contractors, and permits inspectors to review records and interview detainees who wish to speak privately. While the law grants access to inspect physical conditions, it explicitly prevents state officials from interfering with immigration enforcement, custody decisions, or the release of any detained individuals. Facility operators must cooperate with these inspections, and governors may submit their findings to Congress and the public, requiring a response from the Department of Homeland Security within 60 days.

S 4781: Make More in America Act of 2026

The Make More in America Act of 2026 expands the Export-Import Bank's authority to provide loans, guarantees, and other financial support specifically for U.S. manufacturing projects that are intended for export.

Additionally, the legislation increases the Bank's overall lending authority, establishes a new interagency committee to coordinate federal investment strategies, and tightens rules on who is eligible for Bank support.

HR 9152: VETRA Act

The VETRA Act directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to run a two-year pilot program aimed at upgrading its digital security systems to better protect veterans' benefits and reduce fraud. Under this initiative, the VA will test new multi-layered identity verification methods on up to three high-use platforms, such as those for disability claims, health care enrollment, and educational benefits. The program requires the use of commercially available, independently certified security tools that adjust verification strictness based on the risk level of each transaction. To ensure accountability, the bill mandates regular reports to Congress on performance metrics and requires an independent evaluation by the Government Accountability Office before deciding whether to expand the system nationwide.

The bill also mandates that noncitizen service members and veterans cannot be removed unless convicted of a crime of violence, while granting them access to military benefits and a streamlined path to naturalization. Additionally, the law directs immigration authorities to identify at-risk veterans, seek supervisory approval before initiating removal proceedings against them, and annotate official records with specific details about their military service.

SRES 766: A resolution acknowledging and apologizing for the mistreatment of, and discrimination against, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who served the United States in the uniformed services, the Foreign Service, and the Federal civil service and committing to the pursuit of equal rights, protections, and respect for all LGBT servicemembers and Federal civil servants.

This Senate resolution formally acknowledges and apologizes for the decades of discrimination and wrongful termination faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who served in the U.S. military, Foreign Service, and federal civil service. The measure highlights historical policies, such as the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule and the "Lavender Scare," which forced hundreds of thousands of service members to leave their jobs or hide their identities, while also noting recent executive actions that have rescinded protections for gender identity. While the resolution reaffirms a commitment to equal rights and respect for all LGBT government employees, it explicitly states that it does not create any legal claims or settlements for affected individuals.
