United States · United States Congress · 20 May 2026

Secure America Act This bill provides funding to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through FY2029 for immigration enforcement, border security, and related activities. It is known as a reconciliation bill and includes legislation submitted by certain congressional committees pursuant to provisions in the FY2026 congressional budget resolution (S. Con. Res. 33) that directed the committees to submit legislation to the House or Senate Budget Committee that will increase the deficit. (Reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.) Specifically, the bill provides funding to CBP for  personnel; border security, technology, and screening; and immigration enforcement activities. The bill provides funding to ICE for personnel, Homeland Security Investigations, immigration enforcement activities, transportation, information technology, facility and fleet maintenance and sustainment, 287(g) agreements (i.e., agreements that allow state and local law enforcement agencies to perform certain immigration enforcement functions), the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor,  operation and maintenance, and certain arrests related to immigration enforcement.

A bill to amend the Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993 with respect to future membership in the Catawba Indian Nation.

United States · United States Congress · 12 February 2026

This bill revises tribal membership requirements for the Catawba Indian Nation (a tribe in South Carolina). The Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993 explicitly restricted the tribe’s future membership to lineal descendants of people on the final base membership roll who maintained continuous political relations with the tribe. This bill removes these membership criteria and allows the tribe to determine its membership. (The tribe uses three base membership rolls and anyone who wants to be enrolled must prove lineal descent from someone listed on one of these base membership rolls.)
