To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate certain exceptions to the naturalization requirement as to understanding the English language, history, principles, and form of government of the United States.

The proposal would remove certain exceptions that currently allow some people applying for U.S. citizenship to skip or modify the English language and civics test requirements. This would affect immigrants seeking to become citizens, potentially making the naturalization process more difficult for older applicants or those with disabilities who currently qualify for accommodations or waivers.

Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act

This bill would limit who can get mortgages backed by federal programs like FHA insurance, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac by requiring borrowers to be U.S. citizens. Currently, some non-citizens with legal status can qualify for these government-supported mortgages, but this change would restrict that access to citizens only. The bill would affect both individual homebuyers seeking mortgages and the mortgage companies that sell loans to these federal agencies.

TREY'S Law

The bill would ban the use of non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality clauses that prevent people from reporting sexual abuse of children, even if they signed such agreements with employers or organizations. This would allow victims and witnesses to speak publicly or to law enforcement about child sexual abuse without facing legal consequences from the organizations involved. The measure affects employers, institutions, and any organizations that currently use these types of restrictive agreements.

EQUALS Act of 2025

The bill would require federal agencies to collect and report data on pay differences between men and women in their workforces, with the goal of identifying and addressing gender-based wage gaps in government employment. Federal employees and job applicants would benefit from increased transparency about how pay is determined, while agencies would need to develop plans to close any documented pay disparities. The measure aims to ensure that taxpayer-funded government jobs follow fair pay practices regardless of gender.

Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act

This bill would speed up the process for removing immigrants from the United States who have been convicted of certain crimes, reducing the time they can spend appealing their deportation cases. It would affect both documented and undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions, as well as immigration courts and enforcement agencies that would need to process these cases faster. The goal is to make it easier and quicker for the government to deport non-citizens convicted of crimes rather than allowing lengthy legal proceedings.

Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025.

This joint resolution reinstates provisions of District of Columbia (DC) tax law to conform with federal tax law. As background, DC generally automatically adopts changes to federal tax law (known as rolling conformity). Therefore, upon enactment of the 2025 reconciliation act (commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act), many of its tax provisions became DC law. DC subsequently enacted its own legislation (the DC Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025) that decoupled DC tax law from these federal provisions. This joint resolution nullifies the DC legislation, thereby generally realigning DC tax law with the tax provisions of the 2025 reconciliation act. Specifically, the joint resolution reinstates for DC provisions that • increase the higher basic standard deduction; • increase deductible charitable cash contributions (for taxpayers who take the standard deduction); • establish a $6,000 tax deduction for taxpayers 65 years and older; • allow a tax deduction of qualified tips, qualified overtime pay, and qualified car loan interest; • authorize an elective 100% depreciation allowance for nonresidential real property; and • authorize businesses to deduct 100% of research and experimental costs retroactive to tax year 2022. The DC legislation also amended several other provisions of DC tax law, including restoring the DC child tax credit. The joint resolution negates these changes.

Somalia Immigration Moratorium Act

This bill would temporarily stop the U.S. from accepting new immigrants and refugees from Somalia until the government completes a security review. The pause would affect Somali citizens seeking to move to America through immigration programs, and would remain in place until officials determine that adequate safety measures are in place to screen arrivals from that country.

Student Visa Integrity Act of 2026

The proposal would tighten rules around student visas to prevent fraud and ensure international students are genuinely enrolled in legitimate educational programs. It would likely give immigration officials more tools to verify that visa holders are actually attending classes and following the terms of their visas, affecting both international students coming to the U.S. and the schools that admit them. The bill is currently being reviewed by committees in Congress to determine what changes it would make to immigration and education policies.

To lower the age at which a minor may be tried as an adult for certain criminal offenses in the District of Columbia to 14 years of age.

This bill lowers the age at which an individual may be tried as an adult for certain criminal offenses in the District of Columbia (DC) to 14 years of age. Under current DC law, an individual who is under 18 years of age is tried as a juvenile in family court. However, an individual who is 16 years of age or older may be tried as an adult if the individual is charged with murder, first-degree sexual abuse, burglary in the first degree, robbery while armed, or assault with intent to commit any such offense. Additionally, an individual who is 15 years of age or older may be tried as an adult if the individual is alleged to have committed a felony and it is determined that (1) it is in the interest of the public welfare to try the individual as an adult, and (2) there are no reasonable prospects for the individual's rehabilitation. The bill lowers the minimum age to be tried as an adult in these cases to 14 years of age.

Domestic Jobs Protection Act

The legislation would establish new restrictions on hiring foreign workers and immigration policies aimed at prioritizing employment opportunities for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. It would affect both employers seeking to hire international workers and immigrants applying for work visas or permanent residency. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Restoring Equal Opportunity Act

The bill aims to address housing and community development issues, likely by removing barriers that prevent equal access to housing opportunities for certain groups of people. Based on its referral to both the Judiciary and Education committees, it probably involves enforcing fair housing laws or expanding protections against discrimination in housing and related community programs. The specific details of what changes it would make are not yet clear from its current status in committee review.

LAND Act

Land And National Defense Act or the LAND Act This bill requires that a foreign purchaser of agricultural land be subject to (1) the same restrictions and limitations as a U.S. citizen or national would be subject to when purchasing agricultural land in the foreign purchaser's home country, and (2) any restrictions and limitations that apply under state law with respect to the purchase. The bill applies to all foreign purchasers, including U.S. citizens who are also a citizen of one or more other countries (e.g., a dual citizen). For a foreign company purchasing agricultural land, a country is treated as the company's home country if (1) it has the most restrictive laws with respect to the purchasing of agricultural land, and (2) the citizens of the country hold at least 5% of the company. The seller of the agricultural land to a foreign purchaser must report the sale to the Department of Agriculture (USDA). Further, USDA must notify certain Members of Congress of the sale, including (1) the Senators from the state in which the agricultural land is located, and (2) the Representative from the congressional district where the land is located. In addition, the bill establishes the U.S. Land Protection Task Force, chaired by the Secretary of Agriculture, to identify violations of these restrictions on foreign agricultural land purchasers. The task force must submit a report to Congress every six months, which must include specific information on the sale of agricultural land to foreign purchasers.

REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025

Return Excessive Migrants and Asylees to International Neighbors in Mexico Act of 2025 or the REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025 This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement the Migrant Protection Protocols as outlined in the January 25, 2019, memo titled Policy Guidance for Implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols . (The protocols generally required aliens who are not clearly admissible, including those seeking asylum, arriving by land along the U.S.-Mexico border to be returned to Mexico while their immigration proceedings are pending, rather than remain in the United States. On January 21, 2021, DHS stopped applying the protocols to newly-arrived individuals.)
