HR 6890 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
PROTECT Immigration Act of 2025
To discontinue a Federal program that authorizes State and local law enforcement officers to investigate, apprehend, and detain aliens in accordance with a written agreement with the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and to clarify that immigration enforcement is solely a function of the Federal Government.
Summary
This bill would eliminate Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which currently allows state and local law enforcement officers to investigate, apprehend, and detain people for immigration violations under written agreements with the Department of Homeland Security. Under this bill, only federal immigration officers and authorized Department of Homeland Security employees would be authorized to investigate immigration violations, verify immigration status, or detain individuals for immigration-related offenses. The bill clarifies that immigration enforcement authority rests solely with the federal government.
