HR 10040: No TSA Data for ICE Act

This bill, titled the No TSA Data for ICE Act, prohibits the Transportation Security Administration from sharing passenger data with U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Additionally, the legislation prevents the denial, suspension, or early termination of Trusted Traveler programs like PreCheck and Global Entry if an individual's participation in First Amendment-protected activities is the reason. The law defines the restricted data as personally identifiable information about flight passengers obtained from the TSA or private sector entities.

S 5071: Children's Safe Welcome Act of 2026

The Children's Safe Welcome Act of 2026 establishes comprehensive standards for the treatment, care, and placement of noncitizen children in immigration custody, primarily affecting the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. Key provisions include a prohibition on separating children from their parents or guardians unless there is clear and convincing evidence of an imminent threat, alongside requirements for rapid family reunification and the elimination of family detention facilities. The bill mandates that children be housed in state-licensed facilities that provide trauma-informed care, adequate medical and educational services, and access to legal representation, while also phasing out large congregate care settings in favor of family-based placements. Furthermore, it creates an independent Office of the Ombudsperson to monitor compliance, investigates age assessments that ban invasive medical procedures, and enforces strict data privacy rules to prevent information from custody cases from being used in immigration removal proceedings.

HR 10011: No PREJUDICE Act

The No PREJUDICE Act prohibits Department of Homeland Security officers from detaining, arresting, or investigating individuals based on their race, ethnicity, job, or use of a non-English language or an accented English. It specifically bans profiling at locations like bus stops or agricultural sites and forbids targeting people for hobbies or careers. If someone in immigration removal proceedings claims they were stopped for these reasons, they can request a court hearing to prove the violation. A judge who finds the profiling unlawful must dismiss the removal case, while the case continues only if no violation is found.

S 4800: Land of the Free Act of 2026

The Land of the Free Act of 2026 amends federal immigration law to remove a specific ground for deportation related to protected speech activities.

This change directly affects immigrants who might otherwise face removal proceedings based on their speech. The legislation does not alter other deportation criteria or create new categories of removable offenses.

S 4786: Governors’ Right to Inspect Act of 2026

The Governors' Right to Inspect Act of 2026 allows state governors and designated public health officials to enter federal immigration detention facilities to check conditions related to health, safety, sanitation, and medical care. This authority applies to all U.S. detention centers, whether run directly by the government or by private contractors, and permits inspectors to review records and interview detainees who wish to speak privately. While the law grants access to inspect physical conditions, it explicitly prevents state officials from interfering with immigration enforcement, custody decisions, or the release of any detained individuals. Facility operators must cooperate with these inspections, and governors may submit their findings to Congress and the public, requiring a response from the Department of Homeland Security within 60 days.

S 4771: Protecting Asylum Integrity Act

The Protecting Asylum Integrity Act establishes a mandatory fee of at least $100 for individuals undergoing credible fear interviews, which is the initial screening process for those seeking asylum or other protection from removal. This fee must be paid before the interview takes place and is designed to cover the administrative costs associated with these screenings while potentially deterring the filing of meritless claims. Half of the collected fees will be used directly by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to support processing operations, while the other half will go to the general Treasury fund. The bill also includes a provision to adjust the fee amount annually for inflation starting in fiscal year 2027.
