2026-07-07: Referred to the Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill primarily addresses immigration enforcement through multiple provisions on border barriers, technology, personnel, asylum restrictions, detention, E-Verify mandates, penalties for illegal entry/presence, and related measures, all of which expand the scope of enforcement. No provisions were found on firearms, transgender issues, or abortion. One tag is neutral due to absence of relevant text on sanctuary policies.
Referred to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.
