S 2350: Protect DREAMer Confidentiality Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to keep all personal information from DACA applications confidential. It prohibits sharing this data with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or state/local law enforcement for any purpose other than administering the DACA program.

HR 4748: Agriculture Workforce Reform Act of 2025

HR 4748, the Agriculture Workforce Reform Act of 2025, creates a pathway for certain agricultural workers to obtain temporary nonimmigrant status. It directly affects undocumented workers who performed agricultural labor in the U.S. for at least two years between January 2021 and their departure or removal, provided they did not unlawfully receive public benefits. Key provisions waive past inadmissibility grounds, grant immunity from prosecution for prior immigration violations for both workers and employers, and require a $2,500 fee per applicant and employer. The temporary status allows up to three years of work authorization, renewable in three-year increments, during a three-year covered period starting from the bill's enactment date.

HR 5340: To prohibit the disclosure of records by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development of individuals for the purposes of immigration enforcement, and for other purposes.

HR 5340 prohibits the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and public housing agencies from sharing tenant records with immigration authorities for immigration enforcement purposes. It directly affects all HUD housing program participants (including renters and applicants, regardless of immigration status) by requiring HUD to obtain written consent or a language-proficient request from the individual before disclosing their records. Key provisions include banning disclosure without consent, preventing HUD from forcing public housing agencies to share records, and mandating a 90-day compliance report to Congress detailing record security and past sharing practices. The bill aims to protect housing privacy by ensuring immigration enforcement cannot access sensitive tenant information held by HUD without explicit individual authorization.

HR 7743: Stop ICE Intimidation Act of 2026

HR 7743, the Stop ICE Intimidation Act of 2026, prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from spending funds on biometric surveillance systems, related contracts, or hiring additional ICE personnel until a detailed report is submitted to Congress. The required report must establish policies banning ICE from using surveillance systems to collect data on individuals exercising constitutional rights (like free speech), and must include rules for data storage, retention, access, and notification for affected individuals. The bill also explicitly prevents using federal funds to restrict people from recording or documenting ICE enforcement operations, as long as such actions don’t interfere with operations. This bill directly affects ICE’s operational funding and data practices, and impacts individuals whose constitutional rights could be monitored under current ICE surveillance systems.

HR 6890: PROTECT Immigration Act of 2025

This bill amends Section 287(g) of immigration law to restrict immigration enforcement authority exclusively to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and DHS employees. It removes state and local law enforcement agencies' ability to verify immigration status, investigate, or arrest individuals for immigration violations under current 287(g) agreements. The change directly affects local police departments that previously participated in immigration enforcement through federal partnerships. The bill does not create new policies but alters existing authority to limit enforcement to federal officers only.

HR 4703: To establish a system to track, record, and report all instances in which a United States citizen or individual lawfully admitted for permanent resident was, for the purpose of immigration enforcement, detained or removed by the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create a system tracking all detentions or removals of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) during immigration enforcement. DHS must report these cases quarterly to Congress, including instances where minors were removed alongside undocumented parents. The system must also include cases involving citizens or LPRs detained by other agencies and transferred to DHS. A separate process for individuals to prove citizenship or LPR status during detention must be established within 180 days.

HR 3504: Artemis Act of 2025

This bill amends immigration law to create an exception for certain individuals during expedited removal proceedings. It prevents the removal of aliens who are natives or citizens of a "country of concern" (defined as a country designated as a "country of particular concern" or on the "special watch list" under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998). The key mechanism adds a new exception (subparagraph H) to the existing immigration law, blocking expedited removal for these individuals. This directly affects people from designated countries who would otherwise face rapid deportation. The bill does not change the definition of "country of concern" or create new designations; it only modifies removal procedures for existing designations.

HR 5073: INFORM Act of 2025

HR 5073, the INFORM Act of 2025, requires immigration authorities to notify the immediate family of a detained individual within 24 hours if they are transferred to a different detention facility. This applies directly to immigrants held under U.S. immigration law and their immediate family members, defined as parents, children, spouses, and certain extended family like step-relatives or domestic partners. The law mandates that notifications include the reason for the transfer and full contact details (name, address, phone number, and point of contact) for the new facility. It establishes a specific timeline and content requirement for these notifications to improve transparency during detention transfers. The bill focuses on procedural changes for facility transfers, not on altering detention policies or immigration eligibility.
