HR 6801, the American Citizenship Healthcare Integrity Act of 2025, requires hospitals participating in Medicare to ask patients about their U.S. citizenship or national status on intake forms 180 days after enactment.

S 3197: Flight Risk Reduction Act

This bill changes federal rules for detaining defendants before trial. It creates a new rule that non-citizen defendants (including non-permanent residents) are presumed to be a flight risk unless they provide strong proof they won't flee or pose a danger to others. Family ties or employment in the U.S. cannot be used to challenge this presumption. The change applies only to non-citizens, not U.S. citizens.

S 762: No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act

This bill prohibits immigration benefits for individuals who participated in, planned, financed, or supported Hamas attacks against Israel beginning October 7, 2023.

HR 7451, the EXILE Act, would end the H-1B visa program for foreign workers in specialty occupations after fiscal year 2026.

S 72: Justice for Jocelyn Act

This bill (S 72) changes how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) releases non-detained immigrants. It requires that aliens only be placed in Alternatives to Detention (ATD) programs after all detention beds are filled, no detention options exist, and all reasonable detention efforts are exhausted (Section 2). It mandates continuous GPS monitoring and a nightly curfew (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.) for all aliens in ATD programs during all immigration proceedings and until removal (Section 3). Additionally, it allows for automatic removal in absentia if an alien fails to comply with release conditions, based on an officer’s affidavit (Section 4). The bill directly affects non-detained immigrants under ICE supervision who would previously qualify for ATD.

HR 7156: SCAM Act

HR 7156, the SCAM Act, would expand grounds for revoking U.S. citizenship (denaturalization) for naturalized citizens who commit specific offenses within 10 years of becoming citizens. It targets individuals convicted of defrauding federal, state, or local governments (e.g., $10,000+ in public benefit fraud), affiliating with foreign terrorist organizations, or committing aggravated felonies or espionage. If convicted in these categories, the government could automatically revoke citizenship retroactively (as if it never existed) based on evidence that the person lacked good moral character or loyalty to the U.S. at the time of naturalization. This bill directly affects naturalized citizens who commit these offenses within a decade of gaining citizenship, with revocation triggering immediate deportability.

HR 1861: Checkpoint Modernization Act

The Checkpoint Modernization Act requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to prioritize renovating border checkpoints along the southern U.S. border to improve agent safety, enhance detection of smuggling and contraband, and reduce traffic congestion. It authorizes $150 million annually from 2025-2028 for these projects and mandates annual reports to Congress on costs and progress. The bill also rescinds unobligated funds from the EPA’s climate justice grants program to cover these border renovations. This directly affects Border Patrol agents, travelers at southern border checkpoints, and federal budget allocations for border security. The focus is on physical infrastructure upgrades and operational efficiency, not policy changes to border enforcement.

HR 4683: Securing America’s Ports of Entry Act of 2025

HR 4683, the Securing America’s Ports of Entry Act of 2025, requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to hire at least 1,000 additional officers annually until staffing targets are met based on workload data.
