HR 9724: End Birthright Citizenship for Territories Act

This bill proposes to end automatic U.S. citizenship for people born in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands starting January 1, 2027. It achieves this by amending existing immigration laws to add a specific date cutoff, meaning anyone born in these territories after that date would not be granted citizenship at birth. The legislation explicitly states that children born before the cutoff date and children born to U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents in these areas will retain their current citizenship status.

HR 10027: Stop ICE’s Medical Neglect Act of 2026

The Stop ICE's Medical Neglect Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to create an online system where detained individuals, their lawyers, or family members can confidentially report medical neglect at immigration detention facilities. Under this bill, an independent medical expert would review each complaint to determine if neglect occurred, ensuring necessary treatment is provided if the claim is valid while allowing for an appeal process if it is denied. The legislation also mandates that detainees cannot face retaliation for filing complaints or seeking medical care and must have access to language translation services. Additionally, the law defines specific criteria for what constitutes medical neglect, such as failures in providing timely care, medication management, or specialty referrals.

S 5155: American Hiring Transparency Act

The American Hiring Transparency Act introduces a new fee for employers who file applications to hire foreign workers, requiring them to pay a charge equal to the standard nonimmigrant visa fee at the time of filing. Starting in fiscal year 2027, this initial fee will be at least $10,000, with the amount adjusted annually for inflation to keep pace with rising costs. The revenue generated from these fees is split evenly between the Department of Labor and the Office of Personnel Management, with half of the Labor Department's share designated for unspecified purposes and the other half used to improve the USAJOBS job platform. This measure applies specifically to employers seeking permanent employment certification and does not allow for any waivers or reductions of the required payment.

HR 9854: Citizenship Act of 2026

The Citizenship Act of 2026 redefines the term "invader" to include individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States or those seeking entry specifically for the purpose of giving birth. Under this legislation, children born in the U.S. to these designated invaders would not be entitled to birthright citizenship if their mothers were not lawfully admitted or if the parents do not meet specific residency requirements. The bill also explicitly excludes children born through commercial surrogacy contracts involving nationals of certain countries from acquiring citizenship. Additionally, the act declares that courts cannot review the President's or Congress's determination that an invasion is occurring.

S 5093: PROKID Act

The PROKID Act establishes an independent Office of the Ombudsperson within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect immigrant children in government custody. This new office would have the authority to conduct regular unannounced site visits, investigate complaints of abuse or neglect, and advocate for the quickest possible release of detained children. To support these efforts, the bill requires the government to share real-time data on child locations and custody details with the ombudsperson while strictly prohibiting the use of this information for immigration enforcement. Additionally, the act creates an expert advisory committee to review facility compliance and mandates that the government publish monthly statistics on the number and length of time children are held in detention.

HR 9944: TPS Review Act

The Temporary Protected Status Review Act restores the ability of courts to review decisions by the Department of Homeland Security to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for foreign nationals. Under this bill, the government must publish detailed written findings explaining why a country no longer qualifies for TPS protection, and these decisions would be subject to a legal challenge in federal court. If a TPS designation is terminated, the affected individuals would remain in the United States with their current status and work authorization intact while the legal challenge is pending. Additionally, the legislation requires the government to follow specific administrative procedures, such as considering all available evidence and avoiding bias, before making any termination decisions.
