HR 3064: BE GONE Act

The BE GONE Act (HR 3064) amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the definition of "aggravated felonies" by adding sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence as a new category under immigration law. This change directly affects non-citizens convicted of these specific crimes, as it triggers mandatory deportation under current immigration enforcement rules. The bill modifies Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to include these offenses as a new subsection (V) in the list of aggravated felonies. It does not alter criminal penalties for the offenses themselves but changes immigration consequences for convicted non-citizens.

HR 3861: Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill would require the Attorney General to annually identify state or local governments that fail to comply with federal immigration cooperation laws, such as sharing immigration status information or honoring detainer requests. Jurisdictions found non-compliant would lose eligibility for all federal financial assistance (including grants and programs) for at least one year. The law mandates annual reports to Congress and allows any member of Congress to request compliance reports on specific jurisdictions. It directly affects cities, counties, and states that do not follow federal immigration enforcement directives.

S 2935: Sovereign Enforcement Integrity Act of 2025

S 2935, the Sovereign Enforcement Integrity Act of 2025, prohibits state and local law enforcement officers from arresting, detaining, or assisting with the enforcement of International Criminal Court (ICC) requests against foreign nationals without federal authorization. It directly affects all state, local, and territorial law enforcement agencies and their personnel. The bill requires explicit federal approval - either through specific congressional legislation or a presidential certification of national security necessity - to override this prohibition. This law aims to prevent conflicts with U.S. foreign policy and constitutional authority over foreign relations, as the U.S. is not a party to the ICC.

HR 3859: Returning Illegals over Turmoil Act

This bill would make non-citizens deportable if they incite or participate in riots during civil unrest involving assaults on law enforcement or military personnel, or destruction of public property, and who were unlawfully present, had DACA, or were lawful permanent residents at the time of the offense. It permanently bars such individuals from reentering the U.S. or accessing any relief from deportation, including asylum, cancellation of removal, or future DACA benefits. During declared emergencies (such as national disasters or state emergencies), the law mandates expedited removal and mandatory detention for those covered, with no discretion for enforcement.

HR 7544, the Illegal Alien Animal Abuser Removal Act of 2026, amends U.S. immigration law to make certain animal cruelty convictions grounds for denying entry or requiring deportation.

HR 506: Security First Act

HR 506, the "Security First Act," allocates $110 million annually (2025-2028) for border security grants to state/local law enforcement through the Operation Stonegarden program, funded by a new trust fund using seized monetary instruments at the border.

The bill mandates a detailed technology needs analysis by DHS within one year, evaluating border security tech gaps, new surveillance systems, and infrastructure to address threats like drug trafficking and human smuggling.
