S 5371: Stopping Border Surges Act

The Stopping Border Surges Act proposes significant changes to U.S. immigration law regarding unaccompanied children and asylum seekers. It mandates that unaccompanied alien children be repatriated to their home countries if they do not meet specific criteria, while also allowing for the detention of families who entered the country together for misdemeanor border-crossing charges. For asylum applicants, the bill restricts eligibility to those arriving at designated ports of entry and shortens the deadline to file an application from one year to six months. It introduces a "safe third country" provision that can bar asylum claims if an individual transited through another nation without seeking protection there first. Additionally, the legislation requires audio or video recording of expedited removal interviews, imposes criminal penalties for asylum fraud, and terminates asylum status if an individual voluntarily returns to their home country.

S 5369: Restoring Electoral Fairness and Opposition Rights through Mandates for Accountability Act of 2026

This bill extends existing sanctions against Nicaragua until 2035 unless the government commits to holding free and fair elections, stopping violence against civilians, and investigating past killings. It broadens the scope of financial penalties to include individuals operating in Nicaragua's gold sector and those who arrest or prosecute people for exercising religious freedom or engaging in legitimate political activity. The legislation also adds officials from the military social security institute to a list of priority sanctions targets and requires the Secretary of State to report annually on the implementation of these measures. Additionally, the bill mandates an assessment of the conditions necessary for a democratic transition, including judicial independence and police reform, to be submitted to Congress within 90 days.

SJRES 210: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Commercial Harbor Craft Regulations; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution seeks to block a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency that sets pollution control standards for nonroad engines used in commercial harbor craft. If passed, the measure would prevent the rule from taking effect, meaning the new regulations for these vessels would not be enforced. The bill directly impacts the EPA and the maritime industry by stopping the implementation of the stated pollution limits. It functions as a legislative veto, using existing federal law to disapprove the agency's decision without creating new policies itself.

SJRES 209: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding pollution control standards for nonroad engines used in ocean-going vessels while they are at berth. If passed, the measure would legally void the EPA rule, preventing it from taking effect or continuing to apply to the shipping industry. The bill directly impacts the Environmental Protection Agency and maritime operators subject to these emission regulations by removing the federal mandate associated with the California standards.

HJRES 212: Providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Car Program; Reconsideration of a Previous Withdrawal of a Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding California's Advanced Clean Car Program. If passed, the measure would nullify the EPA's decision to reconsider a previous withdrawal of a waiver that allowed California to set stricter vehicle emission standards than the federal government. The bill directly affects the automotive industry and state regulators by preventing the implementation of these new, state-specific pollution controls. Essentially, it aims to stop the EPA from enforcing a rule that would have expanded California's authority to regulate vehicle emissions.

S 5349: DEPOTS Act

The DEPOTS Act allows the Secretary of Defense to eliminate internal accounting charges, such as remaining depreciation or debt, for Department of Defense depots and arsenals that no longer generate revenue due to government-directed mission changes. This provision applies only to financial balances within military department accounts and does not affect payments owed to commercial contractors. The law requires that any write-offs be conducted in a way that ensures previous cash outlays from revolving funds are recovered, while also permitting the Secretary of Defense to delegate this authority to individual military secretaries.

S 5348: Depot Data Transparency Act

The Depot Data Transparency Act amends existing federal law to require Defense Agencies to include specific financial details in their annual reports on depot-level maintenance and repair workloads. Specifically, the bill mandates that these reports break down both expended and projected funds by individual covered depot. This change directly affects public and private sector depots involved in military maintenance by increasing the granularity of the financial data they must disclose.

S 5347: Circuit Court of Appeals Reorganization Act of 2026

The Circuit Court of Appeals Reorganization Act of 2026 restructures the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth U.S. Circuit Courts to better align their geographic boundaries with current population distribution. The bill moves Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming from the Ninth Circuit to the Eighth, while transferring Arizona and Nevada from the Ninth to the Tenth Circuit, leaving California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands in the newly defined Ninth Circuit. Each affected circuit receives a specific number of judges based on its new composition, with existing judges assigned to their respective new circuits based on their current locations while retaining their original seniority dates. Additionally, the legislation requires that states changing circuits immediately adopt the legal precedents of their new courts and mandates the General Services Administration to plan for new courthouse facilities in Rapid City, South Dakota.

S 5337: Keep Our Communities Safe Act of 2026

The Keep Our Communities Safe Act of 2026 significantly expands the authority of the Secretary of Homeland Security to detain non-citizens who are facing removal from the United States. The bill removes time limits on detention during removal proceedings and allows for indefinite detention after a final order is issued if specific conditions, such as national security threats or public safety risks, are certified by government officials. It restricts access to bond hearings for many detainees, requiring them instead to prove they are not flight risks or community threats through clear and convincing evidence. Additionally, the legislation establishes administrative review processes that permit detention beyond standard removal periods if an individual fails to cooperate with deportation efforts or poses a continuing danger.
