HRES1418In Committee

Honoring the life and legacy of Father Stan, a prominent human rights activist who died while in custody of the Indian state on July 5, 2021, and encouraging India to pursue an independent investigation into his arrest, incarceration, and death.

This resolution honors Father Stan Swamy, a human rights activist who died in Indian police custody in 2021, and calls on the Indian government to conduct an independent investigation into the circumstances of his arrest, detention, and death. The measure expresses concern about his treatment while in custody and seeks accountability for what happened to him. It affects U.S.-India relations and demonstrates congressional interest in human rights issues abroad.

HR9233In Committee

To redesignate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2777 Logan Avenue in San Diego, California, as the "Armando Rodriguez Post Office".

A San Diego post office building would be officially renamed after Armando Rodriguez to honor his contributions. The change is purely ceremonial and would not affect how the postal service operates or the mail delivery services available to residents in that area. This type of designation requires congressional approval and is typically done to recognize individuals who have made significant community contributions.

HJRES185In Committee

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-03: Unlawful and Unenforceable Contract Terms and Conditions".

Congress would reject a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw its guidance on illegal and unenforceable contract terms that companies use with consumers. The guidance had warned businesses against using unfair clauses in contracts that take away people's legal rights, such as forcing them into secret arbitration instead of allowing them to sue. If approved, this would force the agency to keep the guidance in place rather than letting it be withdrawn.

HRES1269In Committee

Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of the Cinco de Mayo holiday.

This resolution formally acknowledges Cinco de Mayo as an important cultural and historical holiday that commemorates Mexico's victory over France in 1862. The measure recognizes the holiday's significance to Mexican and Mexican-American communities in the United States and encourages Americans to learn about and celebrate this historical event.

HR8316In Committee

Donald J. Trump Wealth Tax Act of 2026

This proposal would create a one-time tax on wealthy individuals and trusts whose net worth exceeds $10 million, taxing only the amount above that $10 million threshold. The tax would apply to a small number of the wealthiest Americans and could generate revenue for the federal government, though it would not affect the vast majority of households or businesses. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

HR6497In Committee

Temporary Immigration Judge Integrity Act

This bill would establish temporary positions for additional immigration judges to help reduce the backlog of cases in immigration courts. The new judges would help speed up the process for people seeking asylum, deportation hearings, and other immigration matters, allowing cases to be resolved more quickly. The measure affects immigrants going through the court system, immigration attorneys, and the Department of Justice.

HR5499In Committee

Fed Integrity and Independence Act of 2025

This bill would likely change how the Federal Reserve operates and is overseen, possibly affecting its independence in setting interest rates and monetary policy. The changes could impact banks, borrowers, savers, and everyday people who depend on the Fed's decisions about inflation and economic stability. The specific details would determine whether it gives Congress more control over the Fed's decisions or modifies how the central bank is structured and managed.

HR5340In Committee

To prohibit the disclosure of records by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development of individuals for the purposes of immigration enforcement, and for other purposes.

The federal government would be barred from sharing personal information about people living in public housing or receiving housing assistance with immigration enforcement agencies. This protects residents from having their housing records used to identify and deport undocumented immigrants, allowing people to access housing aid without fear that their data will be turned over to immigration authorities.

HRES561In Committee

Honoring the life and legacy of Father Stan, a prominent human rights activist who died while in custody of the Indian State on July 5, 2021, and encouraging India to pursue an independent investigation into his arrest, incarceration, and death.

The resolution also states that (1) the mistreatment and incarceration of individuals advocating for human rights cannot persist, and (2) freedom of expression is a fundamental human right.
