H.R. 9747 Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 - Support inclusion of additional Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) for Afghan Allies.
S. 4361 Securing the Border Act of 2024 - The bill expands Department of Homeland Security (DHS) authority to address the processing of non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) and provides supplemental appropriations for related purposes. Among other provisions, the bill provides DHS emergency authority to summarily remove or prohibit the entry of certain non-U.S. nationals within 100 miles of the southwest land border. DHS may exercise this authority if DHS encounters an average of 4,000 non-U.S. nationals within a seven-day period. If the number of encounters reach certain higher thresholds, DHS must exercise the emergency authority. This emergency border authority expires after three years and may be modified by the President under specified circumstances.
Next, the bill establishes an expedited process that authorizes asylum officers to adjudicate certain asylum claims. Among other provisions, these provisional noncustodial removal proceedings impose certain target timelines for determining asylum claims and limit review of denied claims. The bill also establishes a stricter threshold for individuals to remain in the United States pending adjudication of an asylum petition.

H.R. 9217 Destination Reception Act - Establish the Destination Reception Services Program New Arrival Services Board in the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and to authorize a grant program to provide funding for medium-term services to asylum seekers and parolees in destination States and localities.

S. 4861 Destination Reception Act - Establish the Destination Reception Services Program New Arrival Services Board in the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and to authorize a grant program to provide funding for medium-term services to asylum seekers and parolees in destination States and localities.
