Plain-English Summary

Congress is considering blocking a rule from the immigration agency that would stop automatically extending work permits for certain immigrants, which would require many people to reapply for permission to work in the United States. If approved, this resolution would overturn the agency's decision and keep the automatic extension system in place, affecting hundreds of thousands of workers who depend on these permits to legally hold their jobs.
