Recognizing that immigrant justice and reproductive justice are inseparable and must be pursued together.

HRES 909 is a House resolution affirming that immigrant justice and reproductive justice are interconnected and must be addressed together. It calls on the Department of Homeland Security to reinstate protections for pregnant individuals in detention, eliminate the 5-year bar restricting immigrants’ access to federal health programs like Medicaid, and implement transparent oversight of reproductive health care in detention facilities. The resolution also urges Congress to remove barriers to health care access for immigrants and requires federal agencies to report on policies affecting reproductive health care for detained individuals. This resolution directly affects policies toward immigrants in detention, particularly regarding access to abortion, prenatal care, and mental health services, but does not create new laws.
