S 4165: Educational Visa Transparency Act of 2026

The Educational Visa Transparency Act of 2026 requires U.S. colleges and universities receiving federal funding to submit detailed lists of international students, faculty, and staff to a federal tracking system. Institutions must report this information within 60 days of the law's enactment and again before each academic term's class registration deadline. The submitted data, organized by visa type, will be accessible to federal agencies including the Department of Education, Homeland Security, Justice, and State. This change aims to improve data collection on non-citizen academic personnel at federally funded institutions.

HR 7975: Feeding Families Not Fear Act of 2026

The Feeding Families Not Fear Act of 2026 reverses specific provisions from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 by restoring funding and benefits that were previously cut. It directly affects low-income families and individuals who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by reinstating benefits that were reduced under earlier legislation. The bill achieves this by repealing two sections that increased funding for immigration and customs enforcement and another section that modified SNAP benefits under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. By removing these changes, the legislation returns SNAP provisions to their previous state as if the 2025 law had not been enacted.

S 4105: Naturalization Accountability Act

HR 7925: American Families First Assistance Act

This bill, titled the American Families First Assistance Act, would restrict eligibility for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits for most aliens in the United States.

The key provision amends the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to disqualify qualified aliens from TANF block grants, with specific exceptions for certain categories of immigrants including nationals of Cuba.
