HR 9160: No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act

The No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act expands U.S. immigration rules to bar close relatives of designated terrorists, senior officials of hostile foreign governments, and sanctioned corrupt leaders from entering or remaining in the country. It defines these "covered family members" to include spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and nieces or nephews of the listed threat actors, applying the ban retroactively to existing relationships. The bill mandates that visas issued to these individuals be revoked and that they face deportation without eligibility for most forms of legal relief, such as cancellation of removal. To enforce these measures, government agencies must implement new screening procedures within 180 days and submit annual reports detailing the number of inadmissibility determinations, visa revocations, and removals.

S 4659: Election Security Partnership Act

The Election Security Partnership Act allocates $20 million in additional funding to states that agree to share their voter registration lists with the Department of Homeland Security. To receive these funds, eligible states must enter a written agreement to provide quarterly updates of their voter rolls to the SAVE system for the purpose of verifying citizenship status. This provision directly affects states participating in the 2026 election security grant program, linking financial assistance to the specific requirement of data sharing for identity verification. The bill does not alter existing election laws but creates a conditional funding mechanism based on administrative cooperation between state election officials and federal agencies.

HJRES 194: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit any person who has citizenship or nationality of, or otherwise owes allegiance to, a country other than the United States from serving as a Representative or Senator in Congress, a Judge of the Supreme Court or any inferior court, an Ambassador, public Minister or Consul, or any other officer of the United States which requires the advice and consent of the Senate, or the President or Vice President unless the person formally and permanently relinquishes such citizenship, nationality, or allegiance.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to bar individuals who hold citizenship or owe allegiance to a foreign country from serving as U.S. President, Vice President, members of Congress, federal judges, or certain appointed officials. The key provision requires any person wishing to hold these positions to formally and permanently give up their foreign citizenship or allegiance before taking office. If ratified by the states, the rules would take effect at different times depending on the specific office, ranging from immediately upon ratification for judges to the start of the next presidential term.

HR 8827: ASSIMILATION Act

This bill, known as the ASSIMILATION Act, fundamentally restructures the U.S. immigration system by replacing family-based and lottery-based admissions with a merit-based approach that prioritizes economic self-sufficiency and national interest. It directly affects prospective immigrants, current visa holders, and employers by establishing new requirements for entry, employment, and naturalization. Key provisions eliminate the diversity visa lottery, restrict family-sponsored immigration to spouses and minor children, and mandate that all immigrants demonstrate the ability to support themselves without relying on government benefits. The legislation also introduces stricter enforcement measures, such as making visa overstays a criminal offense, expanding E-Verify to all employers, and requiring higher English proficiency and tax compliance for citizenship. Additionally, it tightens asylum rules by adding a transit bar for those passing through other countries and limits parole to specific humanitarian cases rather than broad programs.

HRES 1354: Impeaching John McConnell, Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution proposes to impeach John McConnell, Jr., the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill alleges that Judge McConnell abused his judicial discretion by vacating a USCIS policy framework that paused asylum applications and immigration benefit requests for individuals from certain countries. The resolution claims this decision disregarded specific national security incidents and prioritized the interests of noncitizens over public safety. If passed, the House would formally charge the judge with conduct incompatible with his office, sending the article of impeachment to the Senate for trial.

HR 8905: Inhibiting Militant Adversarial Mullahs Act

This bill prohibits the issuance of religious worker visas to individuals holding specific high-ranking titles in Islam, including ayatollahs, grand ayatollahs, imams, grand imams, muftis, grand muftis, and shaykhas. The law directly affects foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States under the R visa category for religious work, effectively barring those with these designated titles from admission. By amending the Immigration and Nationality Act, the legislation creates a blanket restriction based solely on religious hierarchy rather than individual conduct or specific activities.

HR 8836: Know Your American Customer Act

This bill, known as the Know Your American Customer Act, requires banks and credit unions to verify that all new and existing individual account holders are legally present in the United States. To open an account, individuals must present specific documents proving citizenship or lawful status, such as a passport, driver's license, or permanent resident card, with stricter rules applying to those with temporary visas. The law mandates that institutions freeze or close accounts for individuals who lose their legal status, though it provides a temporary grace period to allow for incoming deposits before restricting withdrawals. Additionally, the bill introduces criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for individuals who illegally open or maintain accounts, while explicitly exempting those who have recently lost status or are seeking asylum.

HR 7958: Expatriate Terrorists Act of 2026

The Expatriate Terrorists Act of 2026 expands immigration and citizenship laws to target individuals who support terrorism or join designated foreign terrorist organizations. It mandates that people convicted of terrorism-related crimes be held in mandatory detention and gives courts priority in processing their removal cases. The bill also creates new grounds for revoking U.S. citizenship and stripping nationality from those who provide material support to terrorist groups or serve in their ranks. Additionally, it shifts some deportation authority from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security and allows removal proceedings to begin alongside citizenship revocation cases.

HR 9030: No Immigration Without Assimilation Act of 2026

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to screen all immigration applicants to determine if they are likely to assimilate into American culture and hold views compatible with U.S. principles. Under the new rules, anyone deemed unlikely to assimilate or holding specific beliefs - such as the need for religious law to supersede American laws, the justification of violence, or the rejection of English language learning - would be denied entry or face deportation. The legislation defines "incompatible views" in detail, explicitly listing beliefs that challenge the U.S. Constitution, democracy, or cultural cohesion as grounds for inadmissibility. Consequently, the bill directly affects prospective immigrants and current residents by making their ability to remain in the country contingent upon passing these ideological and cultural assessments.

HR 8920: Restoring the American Homebuyers Dream Act

This bill, titled the Restoring the American Homebuyers Dream Act, aims to share taxpayer information with immigration authorities to help enforce U.S. immigration laws. It modifies the Internal Revenue Code to allow the Department of Homeland Security to request specific details from individuals who use Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). The information that can be shared includes the person's name, address, ITIN, filing status, and details about their dependents or spouse. The bill states that this data will only be used for immigration enforcement purposes and must be protected under the same rules as other taxpayer information.
