HR 7105: Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion Act of 2026

HR 7105, the Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion Act of 2026, authorizes the President to declare an "invasion" at the U.S.-Mexico border and suspend entry for individuals unlawfully crossing the border during such a declaration. It makes these individuals ineligible for immigration relief like asylum (section 208) or protection under other provisions during the declared period, while requiring them to provide entry information or face immediate removal. The bill also grants authorities to repel the invasion, detain or remove involved individuals, and prohibits court reviews of these determinations (except for citizenship claims). These provisions expire when the President ends the declared invasion.

HR 5005: Sanctuary Penalty and Public Protection Act of 2025

This bill creates a federal database identifying state or local governments that conflict with immigration enforcement laws.

HR 64: Grant’s Law

Grant's Law This bill requires the Department of Justice to detain a non-U.S. national ( alien under federal law) found to be unlawfully present in the United States and arrested for various crimes that would render the individual deportable or inadmissible. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may release the individual to an appropriate authority for proceedings related to the arrest, but DHS must resume custody for any period that the individual is not in such authority's custody. If the individual is not convicted of crimes for which the individual was arrested, DHS must continue to detain the individual until removal proceedings are completed. DHS must complete such removal proceedings within 90 days.

HR 134: Protecting our Communities from Sexual Predators Act

This bill amends U.S. immigration law to strengthen detention, inadmissibility, and deportability rules for non-citizens convicted of or admitting to sexual assault offenses. It directly affects non-citizens who have been convicted of, arrested for, or admitted to committing acts constituting sexual assault as defined in current law.

These changes apply to all non-citizens meeting the specified criteria under existing immigration statutes.

HR 746: America First Act

The America First Act (HR 746) would restrict access to numerous federal benefits and programs for certain non-citizens by requiring citizenship verification and denying eligibility to individuals with specific immigration statuses. It affects programs including Medicaid, Medicare, Head Start, WIC, school meals, housing assistance, tax credits, and community development funds by denying benefits to people granted parole, temporary protected status (TPS), deferred action (including DACA), asylum, or who are unlawfully present. The bill also reduces funding for schools in "sanctuary jurisdictions" and limits refugee resettlement for certain Haitian immigrants. It mandates that federal agencies verify immigration status before providing benefits and prohibits use of federal funds for services to certain non-citizens.

HRES 767: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that violent attacks against United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities and officers are unacceptable, must be fully condemned, and that Congress stands in support of ICE's mission to protect national security, public safety, and the enforcement of immigration laws.

HRES 767 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel and facilities. It condemns recent violent attacks on ICE locations and officers - including incidents like the September 2025 Dallas shooting and Illinois riot - as unacceptable, while reaffirming Congress’s backing of ICE’s mission to enforce immigration laws and protect public safety. The resolution calls for improved security coordination, better training for ICE staff, and an end to rhetoric that incites hostility toward immigration enforcement. It urges all public officials and media to avoid language that undermines ICE’s work, though it does not create new laws or policies.

S 3773: Enforce Immigration or Lose Transportation Act

This bill would withhold up to 10% of federal highway funding from states that fail to comply with specific immigration verification requirements. It directly affects states that issue driver's licenses without requiring proof of legal immigration status or restrict sharing immigration status information with federal authorities. Key provisions include withholding 5% of funds in the first year of noncompliance (increasing to 10% annually thereafter) and requiring annual state certifications of compliance. The bill conditions transportation funding on adherence to these immigration verification standards, as defined by the REAL ID Act and federal immigration law.

S 2060: No Community Development Block Grants for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill blocks federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from being awarded to any state or local government that qualifies as a "sanctuary jurisdiction." A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as one with policies that prevent sharing immigration status information with federal authorities or refusing to comply with immigration detainer requests, *except* when officials are protecting crime victims or witnesses. To receive CDBG funds, jurisdictions must certify they are not sanctuary jurisdictions and will remain so during the grant period. The law directly affects cities or counties with such policies by withholding a key source of federal funding for community projects like housing and infrastructure.

S 3921: Sanctuary Jurisdiction Event Security Enhancement Act

This bill withholds federal funding for event security assessments from jurisdictions that restrict cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, such as by refusing to share immigration status information or comply with detainer requests. To qualify for funding, these jurisdictions must certify compliance with federal immigration laws within 30 days of notification. The withheld funds are redirected to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for enforcement activities, prioritizing public safety threats and border operations. Semiannual reports to Congress will track the funding shifts and their impact on enforcement outcomes.
