SCONRES 39 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that individuals who have been wrongfully or unjustly deported from the United States who established significant ties to the United States through years of life in the United States deserve a chance to come home to reunite with loved ones through a fair and centralized process within the Department of Homeland Security.

This concurrent resolution (SCONRES 39) expresses Congress's view that individuals wrongfully or unjustly deported after establishing long-term ties in the U.S. (e.g., raising families, working, or serving as veterans) should have a fair chance to return. It urges the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create a centralized, dedicated unit - modeled after DHS’s existing ImmVets program for veterans - to review requests for reentry. The resolution notes current pathways are fragmented, slow, and hard to access, disproportionately harming families and communities, and emphasizes this approach would align with existing DHS authority. (Note: As a concurrent resolution, it has no legal force but aims to guide DHS policy.)
