To prohibit the Secretary of Homeland Security from implementing or enforcing a remain in Texas policy.
HR 6383 prohibits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using federal funds to implement or enforce a "remain in Texas policy." This policy would require migrants released by DHS or HHS to stay in Texas after entering the U.S. The bill's key mechanism is a funding ban, blocking DHS from enforcing such requirements without congressional approval. It directly affects migrants subject to release by DHS/HHS and DHS operations. The policy change is purely procedural, restricting how federal funds can be used for migration management in Texas.
