HRES 604: A resolution unequivocally condemning nationwide violent attacks on Federal agents enforcing America's immigration laws.

HRES 604 is a House resolution condemning violent attacks against U.S. immigration enforcement agents. It specifically references documented incidents in 2025 where ICE and CBP officers were assaulted, injured, or targeted by mobs in cities like San Jose, Los Angeles, and Portland. The resolution formally recognizes the work of these agents and calls for support from elected officials, but it does not create new laws or policies. As a symbolic resolution, it has no legal force and solely expresses the House's position on these incidents.

HR 6975: Fraud Accountability Act

This bill amends U.S. immigration law to make fraud convictions deportable without requiring a specific fraud loss amount. It directly affects non-citizens (aliens) convicted of fraud against private individuals, businesses, or government entities, and naturalized U.S. citizens convicted of such fraud.

HR 5113: PRICE Act

The PRICE Act (HR 5113) increases penalties for assaulting, resisting, or obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers or employees. It would double the maximum prison sentence and adjust fines for such offenses when the victim is an ICE officer or employee.

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.

HR 1748: FEMA for America First Act of 2025

HR 1748, the "FEMA for America First Act of 2025," would amend the federal disaster relief law to restrict FEMA assistance to "qualified aliens" only. This means non-citizens seeking disaster aid would need to meet specific immigration status criteria defined in existing law, excluding certain groups like asylum seekers who haven’t applied for permanent residency, refugees without adjustment applications, and certain parolees. The bill directly affects non-citizen individuals applying for FEMA disaster assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Act. It changes eligibility rules by requiring applicants to hold a "qualified alien" status as defined by the 1996 welfare law, without altering the core disaster relief program structure.

HR 1172: No Social Security for Illegal Aliens Act of 2025

HR 1172 would amend the Social Security Act to prevent undocumented immigrants from earning Social Security credits for work performed in the U.S. without authorization. It specifically excludes wages earned and self-employment income derived during periods when an individual lacked work authorization from counting toward Social Security benefits. This change applies retroactively to all wages earned before, on, or after the law's enactment, affecting future benefit calculations for undocumented workers. The bill directly impacts individuals working without legal status, ensuring such work does not contribute to their Social Security eligibility or future benefits.

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.

S 2690: Safer Truckers Act of 2025

The Safer Truckers Act of 2025 amends federal law to require commercial motor vehicle drivers to be U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or authorized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to work in the U.S. (specifically for driving commercial vehicles) in order to obtain or renew a commercial driver's license (CDL). This directly affects individuals seeking CDLs by adding a new residency and work authorization requirement under Section 31308 of Title 49, U.S. Code. States must verify this eligibility before issuing CDLs and submit annual reports to the Secretary of Transportation detailing their enforcement of English proficiency requirements for commercial drivers, as specified in Section 31311. The bill focuses on verifying driver eligibility and improving safety through standardized documentation and reporting.

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.
