HR 9447: Getting Terrorist Fanatics Out Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Getting Terrorist Fanatics Out Act of 2026, amends existing immigration laws to allow for the immediate revocation of citizenship for individuals convicted of specific terrorist offenses. It directly affects naturalized U.S. citizens who are found guilty under sections 2339A or 2339B of the United States Code, which relate to providing material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations. Under the new provisions, the court handling the criminal conviction would automatically cancel the person's certificate of naturalization and declare their citizenship void without requiring a separate immigration hearing. The legislation grants criminal courts the authority to make this determination as part of the trial process for the underlying terrorist charges.

HR 9063: Hire American Act

The Hire American Act mandates that only U.S. citizens or nationals can be employed by the federal government, with specific exceptions for translators, emergency field workers, international broadcasters, and short-term wildland firefighters. To enforce this rule, the bill requires new hires to sign an affidavit confirming their citizenship status and allows for penalties of fines or imprisonment for individuals who knowingly provide false information. The Office of Personnel Management is tasked with issuing implementation guidance within 180 days and must publish reports detailing any non-citizen appointments made under the allowed exceptions. Additionally, the law extends these employment restrictions to include employees of the United States Postal Service and the Postal Regulatory Commission.

S 4834: Prioritizing American Talent Act

The Prioritizing American Talent Act prevents the Department of Homeland Security from using funds to process work permits for foreign students and special immigrants unless Congress explicitly authorizes their employment. This restriction applies specifically to individuals classified under sections 101(a)(15)(F) and (M) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, effectively halting the approval of their employment authorization applications. Additionally, the bill requires the rescission of any unspent fees collected for processing these specific applications that are not backed by congressional authorization. The Department of Homeland Security must determine and withdraw these funds within 30 days of the law's enactment.

HR 9479: Remigration Act

The Remigration Act introduces several strict measures to revoke U.S. citizenship and immigration status under specific conditions. It allows for the loss of naturalized citizenship if a person is convicted of government fraud, joins a terrorist organization, or commits certain serious crimes within ten years of becoming a citizen. Additionally, the bill defines citizenship for children born in the U.S. based on their parents' legal status, creates a task force to review asylum and refugee grants made between 2021 and 2025, and mandates the revocation of status for individuals from designated countries or those who received public benefits recently. The legislation also raises the English language requirement for naturalization, allows for deportation based on anti-American beliefs, and requires denaturalized individuals to repatriate with their children.

HR 9457: Diversity Visa Protection and Modernization Act

The Diversity Visa Protection and Modernization Act limits the executive branch's ability to completely stop the Diversity Visa Program, which provides immigration opportunities to applicants from countries with low rates of migration to the United States. Instead of allowing indefinite or broad pauses, the bill permits only targeted restrictions on specific countries, individual security denials, or temporary suspensions lasting no more than 60 days. Any such limitation requires the relevant government officials to notify Congress and publish details about the threat and legal basis at least seven days in advance. Additionally, the law ensures that individuals who have already received a Diversity Visa cannot lose their eligibility due to a temporary program-wide suspension.
