HRES 1421: Impeaching Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution formally impeaches Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for high crimes and misdemeanors. The document cites five specific articles of impeachment, accusing the judge of abusing her authority by issuing an injunction that halted the SAVE program and interfering with the President's executive duties. It further claims she exceeded her legal role by acting as a policy-maker rather than an impartial arbiter, thereby undermining public confidence in the judiciary. If the House adopts this resolution, the articles would be sent to the Senate for a trial, which could result in the judge's removal from office and disqualification from future public service.

HR 9566: To establish a pilot program for use by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at land ports of entry along the Arizona border to assess the use of artificial intelligence through an anomaly detection algorithm, and for other purposes.

This bill directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to launch a two-year pilot program at land ports of entry along the Arizona border to test an artificial intelligence tool designed to detect unusual patterns in data. The system aims to assist officers in screening for illicit drugs and contraband by improving inspection accuracy, processing speed, and overall border security while addressing staffing challenges. To ensure safety and effectiveness, the program requires strict cybersecurity oversight and allows for collaboration with federal agencies and private sector experts. Throughout the pilot, officials must submit regular reports to Congress detailing the algorithm's performance metrics, costs, and any successes or failures before deciding whether to expand its use.

HR 9565: Enhanced Counter-Narcotics Detection and Technology Act

This bill directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to identify high-risk land ports of entry based on high volumes of drug seizures and mandate the use of advanced scanning technology there. Specifically, it requires these ports to install large-scale, non-intrusive inspection systems, such as x-ray or gamma-ray scanners, to screen at least 40 percent of passenger vehicles and 70 percent of commercial vehicles. The law also establishes a process for evaluating the effectiveness of this technology and requires annual reports to Congress on its performance and potential new innovations. Additionally, the bill mandates that relevant personnel receive training on operating these new systems to ensure proper implementation.

HR 9374: Find Our Families Act of 2026

The Find Our Families Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to create a public online system that allows families to locate individuals detained by Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This system must provide search results within eight hours of detention, display information in multiple languages, and include specific details such as names, dates of birth, and facility locations, while excluding data for minors. The bill also mandates that families be notified within five hours if a detainee is transferred for medical care and establishes new reporting requirements for CBP arrests, including details on the circumstances of the arrest and the number of agents involved. Additionally, the legislation creates a process for families to report errors in detainee information and imposes penalties on employees or contractors who fail to comply with these data-sharing and reporting obligations.

HR 9314: DHS Surveillance Technology Moratorium Act of 2026

The DHS Surveillance Technology Moratorium Act of 2026 temporarily halts the Department of Homeland Security from using funds to start, renew, or expand contracts for surveillance tools used in immigration enforcement, such as facial recognition and predictive analytics. This pause applies to agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, though existing contracts can continue until a review is complete. The bill mandates an independent audit within 180 days to examine data collection practices, privacy impacts, and the accuracy of these technologies, followed by a public report detailing their use and capabilities. The funding ban remains in effect until the audit is finished, a public report is released, and the department demonstrates it has implemented necessary safeguards to protect civil liberties. Once these conditions are met, the moratorium lifts, but the department must submit annual reports on its continued use of these technologies and any related privacy complaints.

HR 9211: Jewish American Security Act

The Jewish American Security Act aims to combat antisemitism by strengthening protections for Jewish students, securing Jewish communities, and increasing transparency regarding online hate speech. For educational institutions receiving federal funds, the bill mandates the creation of specific coordinators to handle discrimination complaints, requires annual training on handling antisemitism, and establishes a new federal clearinghouse to share best practices for campus safety. To support physical security, the legislation expands grant funding for nonprofit organizations and directs the Attorney General to provide resources for law enforcement agencies protecting houses of worship. Additionally, the act requires major online platforms with over 50 million monthly users to submit detailed reports to the Federal Trade Commission on how they detect, remove, and moderate antisemitic content.

HR 9200: Secure the Border Act of 2026

The Secure the Border Act of 2026 mandates the immediate resumption of border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, requiring the Department of Homeland Security to build at least 900 miles of physical barriers and deploy advanced surveillance technology. The bill significantly restricts asylum eligibility by barring applicants who transit through third countries without seeking protection there, tightening definitions for "particular social group" claims, and imposing new fees on applications. It also directs federal agencies to reopen specific immigration detention facilities that were closed after January 2021 and requires the mandatory return of certain non-citizens to contiguous foreign territories if they cannot be detained or removed. Additionally, the legislation expands penalties for visa overstays, mandates monthly public reporting of border encounter statistics, and prohibits the use of federal funds for processing individuals entering between ports of entry.

It also imposes stricter rules on asylum eligibility and employment authorization for applicants, mandates the reopening of specific immigration detention facilities, and requires the return of individuals arriving from contiguous foreign countries to those nations while their claims are processed. Additionally, the legislation expands penalties for visa overstays, limits the use of certain digital tools like the CBP One app, and includes provisions to reduce funding for organizations that facilitate illegal entry or provide services to inadmissible aliens.

The regulation will take effect on January 1, 2027, applying to all cosmetic products and their packaging. Additionally, the bill repeals a previous provision from the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 to ensure consistency with this new restriction.

HR 9379: Affordable Homes for Veterans Act of 2026

The Affordable Homes for Veterans Act of 2026 requires lenders to process applications for assuming existing VA home loans within 45 calendar days. This bill also mandates that the Department of Veterans Affairs update its guidance to ensure lenders cannot discourage applicants by suggesting longer wait times. Additionally, the law directs the Office of Inspector General to conduct a comprehensive assessment of current processing speeds and denial rates, with a report due to Congress within 18 months. These measures aim to make the process of taking over a veteran's home loan faster and more transparent for potential buyers.

It grants the Officer authority to investigate complaints, issue public reports on findings, and coordinate with other officials to ensure diverse communities are engaged effectively. Additionally, the legislation requires each major department unit to have its own civil rights officer and mandates annual reporting to Congress on the Office's activities and progress.

HRES 1415: Celebrating the country's history of church-state separation and recognizing the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

This resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States by reaffirming the nation's historical commitment to separating church and state. It highlights key constitutional principles, such as the First Amendment and the prohibition of religious tests for public office, which protect individual religious freedom and prevent government endorsement of specific beliefs. The document cites historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to underscore the importance of maintaining a secular government that safeguards religious pluralism. Ultimately, the measure serves as a formal statement of values rather than a law that changes existing policies or imposes new requirements.
