in committee · Michigan · House Jul 14, 2026

HB 6208: Law enforcement: employment; certain federal employees licensed as certain law enforcement officers; prohibit. Amends sec. 9e of 1965 PA 203 (MCL 28.609e).

This bill prohibits federal immigration and border security employees from obtaining Michigan law enforcement licenses between September 1, 2025, and January 20, 2029. It also mandates that all individuals seeking or holding specific law enforcement licenses complete active violence response training focused on coordinated tactical responses to mass casualty incidents. The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards is tasked with creating the rules to define these training requirements.

HB 6211: Corrections: jails; certain federal employees certified or recertified as local corrections officers; prohibit. Amends sec. 13 of 2003 PA 125 (MCL 791.543).

This bill prohibits the certification or recertification of certain individuals as local corrections officers in Michigan if they have worked for specific federal immigration agencies between September 1, 2025, and January 20, 2029. The law directly affects people seeking to become local corrections officers on or after January 1, 2005, by adding a new requirement that they must not have been employed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services during that three-year window. While the bill maintains existing requirements for U.S. citizenship, age, and high school education, it introduces this specific employment restriction to prevent federal immigration workers from transitioning into local correction roles.

This bill prohibits Michigan school districts, academies, and intermediate districts from hiring or retaining individuals who worked for specific federal immigration agencies between September 1, 2025, and January 20, 2029. The affected agencies include Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and Citizenship and Immigration Services. The law applies to any role within these educational institutions and targets people who were employed by these organizations during that specific future time frame.

H 5620: An Act promoting rule of law, oversight, trust and equal constitutional treatment

This bill directs the governor to limit civil immigration enforcement activities within nonpublic areas of state-owned buildings and properties, unless required by federal law or specific state programs. It requires the creation of multilingual guidelines for state agencies, private organizations, and schools on how to verify the authority of immigration officers and handle related interactions. Additionally, the bill empowers the attorney general to file civil lawsuits against any law enforcement officer who violates specific federal statutes regarding immigration enforcement.

HR 9773: Permanent Trump Secure Border Act

This bill, known as the Permanent Trump Secure Border Act, introduces significant changes to U.S. immigration law affecting asylum seekers, border security, and family detention policies. It tightens asylum eligibility by establishing a "safe third country" rule that bars individuals who transited through other nations without seeking protection there, while simultaneously expanding the list of criminal convictions that disqualify applicants from asylum. The legislation also restricts employment authorization for asylum seekers, limits the use of parole for humanitarian reasons, and mandates the return of land border arrivals to contiguous foreign territories when detention capacity is unavailable. Additionally, the bill clarifies standards for family detention, expands penalties for visa overstays, and modifies protections for unaccompanied children by requiring faster hearings and limiting special immigrant status for those unable to reunite with parents.

S 5023: Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026

The Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026 prohibits individuals from entering the United States if their main reason for travel is to have a child born there to gain U.S. citizenship. This law makes such travelers inadmissible upon arrival and subject to deportation if they are found to have entered the country specifically for this purpose. Officials determine whether someone is engaging in birth tourism by assessing if the person's primary goal is obtaining citizenship for a child or if they are likely to give birth within ten months of entry. The bill directly affects foreign nationals planning to visit the U.S. with the intent of using their child's birthplace to secure citizenship status.

HR 9739: Mount Cristo Rey Protection Act

The Mount Cristo Rey Protection Act prohibits the use of federal funds to seize land around Mount Cristo Rey in Sunland Park, New Mexico, for border wall construction. This legislation specifically blocks funding for legal actions related to eminent domain and bans the installation of security measures such as roads, fencing, and surveillance equipment near the site. The bill aims to protect the mountain, which holds deep religious significance for over 40,000 annual pilgrims, from federal government interference. By restricting financial resources for these specific projects, the act ensures that the holy site remains free from the proposed border wall and associated security infrastructure.

S 4973: American Citizenship Act

The American Citizenship Act proposes changes to how birthright citizenship is determined for children born in the United States. Under this bill, a newborn would automatically be a U.S. citizen only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or has lawful permanent resident status at the time of birth. The legislation explicitly excludes children born to parents who are both undocumented or do not meet these residency requirements from receiving citizenship solely based on their birthplace. Importantly, the bill states that these new rules will not apply retroactively to anyone who was already born before the law takes effect.

S 4954: Citizenship Act of 2026

The Citizenship Act of 2026 redefines the legal status of individuals currently in the United States without legal admission as "invaders" and removes birthright citizenship from children born to these individuals. This change specifically targets mothers who are unlawfully present in the country or entered for the purpose of giving birth, as well as foreign nationals involved in commercial surrogacy contracts within the U.S. By amending the Immigration and Nationality Act, the bill ensures that citizenship is no longer automatically granted to these specific groups of children, regardless of their place of birth. Additionally, the legislation declares that courts cannot review the government's determination that an invasion is occurring at the border.

HR 9742: English Language Proficiency Act

The English Language Proficiency Act removes specific exceptions that currently allow certain immigrants to bypass the naturalization requirement of understanding U.S. history, government, and English language skills. By amending the Immigration and Nationality Act, the bill eliminates these exemptions, meaning more applicants must now demonstrate proficiency in these areas to become citizens. This change directly impacts immigrants who previously qualified for waivers based on factors such as age, education, or length of residence in the United States. The legislation aims to standardize the naturalization process by ensuring a consistent set of requirements for all applicants seeking citizenship.
