HR 4371: Kayla Hamilton Act

The Kayla Hamilton Act amends rules for placing unaccompanied immigrant children under 12 in foster care. It requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to contact the child's country of origin for criminal records, check for gang-related tattoos/markings, and place children with gang ties in secure facilities. The bill also mandates detailed background checks for host families, including immigration status, criminal history, and sex offender registry checks, before placement.

HR 875 amends immigration law to make non-citizens with DUI convictions inadmissible (preventing entry) and deportable (requiring removal after entry). It applies to any conviction for driving while intoxicated or impaired under state, tribal, or local law, regardless of whether the offense is classified as a misdemeanor or felony. The bill directly affects non-citizens convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including impairment from other substances.

HR 275: Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025

HR 275 requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to publish monthly reports on individuals classified as "special interest aliens" who attempt unlawful entry into the U.S. These reports, due by the seventh day of each month, must include the total number, nationalities or countries of origin, geographic regions of encounters, and whether entries occurred at ports, between ports, or inland. The reports must also identify if encounters involve "covered nations" as defined under existing law. This bill directly affects DHS, which must implement the reporting, and Congress, which receives the data for oversight. The law focuses on transparency around national security-related immigration encounters without altering immigration policy.

HR 2056: District of Columbia Federal Immigration Compliance Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the District of Columbia from maintaining policies that block government officials from sharing immigration status information with federal authorities or refusing to comply with federal immigration detainers. It specifically requires DC to share citizenship/immigration data and honor detainer requests under federal law, except when an individual is a crime victim or witness. The law directly affects DC government entities, officials, and policies, mandating cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. It does not change DC's authority to protect crime victims but eliminates existing sanctuary-like restrictions.

HRES 489: Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 884) to prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia and to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2056) to require the District of Columbia to comply with federal immigration laws; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2096) to restore the right to negotiate matters pertaining to the discipline of law enforcement officers of the District of Columbia through collective bargaining, to restore the statute of limitations for bringing disciplinary cases against members or civilian employees of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of the bill (S. 331) to amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes.

HRES 489 is a procedural resolution that would allow the House of Representatives to debate and vote on four separate bills. It enables consideration of H.R. 884 (which would restrict DC voting to U.S. citizens and repeal a 2022 voting rights law), H.R. 2056 (requiring DC to follow federal immigration laws), H.R. 2096 (restoring police discipline bargaining rights and extending disciplinary case deadlines), and S. 331 (amending fentanyl scheduling under the Controlled Substances Act). The resolution waives objections to these bills, sets one hour of debate for each, and establishes rules for final passage. This resolution itself does not change policy but facilitates the legislative process for these four bills.

HR 2931: Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025

This bill requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to relocate all its regional, district, and local offices out of jurisdictions classified as "sanctuary jurisdictions" - defined as areas with policies restricting sharing of immigration information with federal authorities or refusing to comply with certain immigration detainer requests. Offices must be moved within 60 days to a location outside a sanctuary jurisdiction, and operations must pause during relocation.
