HR 10222: No HUD Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill would prohibit any state or local government designated as a "sanctuary jurisdiction" from receiving grant funds distributed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A jurisdiction is defined as a sanctuary if it has laws, policies, or practices that restrict officials from sharing information about an individual's immigration status or from complying with federal requests to detain or notify about the release of individuals. The funding restriction would apply to grants distributed 180 days after the bill's enactment. To determine which jurisdictions qualify for this ineligibility, the HUD Secretary is required to consult with the Secretary of Homeland Security.

S 5331: Protect American Values Act of 2026

The Protect American Values Act of 2026 prohibits the use of federal funds to implement or enforce a specific Department of Homeland Security rule regarding the "Public Charge" ground of inadmissibility. This legislation directly affects immigrants and their families by preventing the government from using financial resources to carry out policies that could restrict access to essential services like food, medical care, and housing. The bill includes a statement of congressional intent arguing that the targeted rule would harm community health, increase poverty, and circumvent established immigration laws. By blocking funding for this specific regulatory action, the act aims to maintain current eligibility standards for public assistance without altering the underlying statutory framework.

HR 10045: Protect American Values Act

The Protect American Values Act prohibits the use of federal funds to implement, administer, or enforce a specific Department of Homeland Security rule regarding the "Public Charge" ground of inadmissibility. This legislation directly affects immigrants and mixed-status families by preventing the government from using public benefits as a factor in determining eligibility for lawful permanent resident status. The bill includes a statement of congressional intent arguing that the targeted rule would restrict access to essential services like food, medical care, and housing, while also negatively impacting state and local economies. By cutting off funding for this specific policy, the act aims to maintain current immigration standards and prevent what Congress describes as an unauthorized reversal of long-standing law.

HR 9724: End Birthright Citizenship for Territories Act

This bill proposes to end automatic U.S. citizenship for people born in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands starting January 1, 2027. It achieves this by amending existing immigration laws to add a specific date cutoff, meaning anyone born in these territories after that date would not be granted citizenship at birth. The legislation explicitly states that children born before the cutoff date and children born to U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents in these areas will retain their current citizenship status.

HR 9944: TPS Review Act

The Temporary Protected Status Review Act restores the ability of courts to review decisions by the Department of Homeland Security to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for foreign nationals. Under this bill, the government must publish detailed written findings explaining why a country no longer qualifies for TPS protection, and these decisions would be subject to a legal challenge in federal court. If a TPS designation is terminated, the affected individuals would remain in the United States with their current status and work authorization intact while the legal challenge is pending. Additionally, the legislation requires the government to follow specific administrative procedures, such as considering all available evidence and avoiding bias, before making any termination decisions.

S 5012: Welcome Back to the Health Care Workforce Act

The Welcome Back to the Health Care Workforce Act authorizes federal grants to help internationally educated health care professionals integrate into the U.S. workforce. These funds will be awarded to groups such as hospitals, universities, and government agencies that partner to provide career support, including licensing assistance, English language training, and mentoring programs. The legislation prioritizes projects that address workforce shortages in rural areas and communities with significant gaps in health care staffing. Recipients must use at least 20 percent of the grant money for system-wide improvements like employer education and career ladders, while the rest can support individual needs such as exam preparation and living expenses. The bill also requires grant recipients to submit annual reports on how many professionals they helped employ and retain.
