This measure allows Congress to debate and vote on two separate bills: one that would speed up environmental reviews and expand forest management projects on federal and tribal lands to reduce wildfire risk by removing overgrown vegetation, and another that would require immigration officials to detain immigrants who have been charged with theft crimes. The bills address forest management and immigration enforcement, affecting federal land agencies, forest communities, and immigration authorities.
