HR 8836: Know Your American Customer Act

This bill, known as the Know Your American Customer Act, requires banks and credit unions to verify that all new and existing individual account holders are legally present in the United States. To open an account, individuals must present specific documents proving citizenship or lawful status, such as a passport, driver's license, or permanent resident card, with stricter rules applying to those with temporary visas. The law mandates that institutions freeze or close accounts for individuals who lose their legal status, though it provides a temporary grace period to allow for incoming deposits before restricting withdrawals. Additionally, the bill introduces criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for individuals who illegally open or maintain accounts, while explicitly exempting those who have recently lost status or are seeking asylum.

HR 7958: Expatriate Terrorists Act of 2026

The Expatriate Terrorists Act of 2026 expands immigration and citizenship laws to target individuals who support terrorism or join designated foreign terrorist organizations. It mandates that people convicted of terrorism-related crimes be held in mandatory detention and gives courts priority in processing their removal cases. The bill also creates new grounds for revoking U.S. citizenship and stripping nationality from those who provide material support to terrorist groups or serve in their ranks. Additionally, it shifts some deportation authority from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security and allows removal proceedings to begin alongside citizenship revocation cases.

HR 9096: Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026, aims to remove from the United States any naturalized citizen convicted of specific terrorism-related crimes. It directly affects individuals who have already become U.S. citizens by automatically revoking their citizenship and declaring their naturalization certificates void upon conviction of offenses such as using weapons of mass destruction or providing material support to terrorists. The law also designates these individuals as deportable aliens and requires the Department of Homeland Security to prioritize their removal from the country. By amending existing immigration laws, the bill ensures that courts have the authority to cancel citizenship immediately following a conviction for these designated offenses.

S 4450: Financial Access Protection Act

The Financial Access Protection Act prevents banks, credit unions, and other covered financial institutions from asking customers about their citizenship or immigration status to open or maintain accounts. It also bars these institutions from collecting, storing, or sharing such information with government agencies. Additionally, the law stops federal banking regulators from requiring these institutions to gather immigration data or using such data to influence regulatory decisions. While the bill restricts the collection of personal status information, it explicitly preserves existing rules for preventing money laundering and other financial crimes.

SJRES 189: A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to protect United States citizenship.

This joint resolution proposes a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution to clarify who qualifies as a citizen at birth. It would restrict automatic citizenship to children born in the United States only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an alien with lawful status serving in the military. The bill aims to limit the scope of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause and explicitly grants Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing these new requirements. If ratified, this change would alter the legal definition of birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants or other non-citizen parents.

S 4546: ASSIMILATION Act

The ASSIMILATION Act fundamentally restructures the U.S. immigration system by replacing family-based and lottery-based admissions with a merit-based approach that prioritizes economic self-sufficiency and national interest. Key provisions include eliminating the Diversity Visa lottery, reducing family-sponsored immigration caps, and raising the English language requirement for naturalization to a B2 proficiency level. The bill also tightens public charge rules by presuming inadmissibility for those who rely on means-tested benefits, mandates universal use of E-Verify for all employers, and imposes stricter financial sponsorship requirements with mandatory bonds. Additionally, it limits H-1B visas to 50,000 annually, restricts asylum for those transiting through other countries, and expands criminal bars for naturalization applicants.

HR 8742: Respect Tribal IDs Act

The Respect Tribal IDs Act requires the Department of Homeland Security to create and enforce annual training for immigration officers on how to properly identify and accept Native American tribal documents as proof of U.S. citizenship. This legislation directly affects federal immigration officials by mandating that they complete specific curricula developed in collaboration with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian tribes. Key provisions include establishing a database of tribal document examples, incorporating scenario-based exercises, and ensuring officers understand the historical trust responsibility between the U.S. government and American Indians. Additionally, the bill defines which tribal documents, such as enrollment cards and certificates of degree of Indian blood, are considered valid proof of citizenship.
