Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution disapproves a rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security regarding implementation of the "Keeping Families Together process," which would nullify the rule if passed. The resolution was introduced by House Republicans in September 2024 and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The text does not specify the details of what the Keeping Families Together process entails or what changes the disapproved rule would have made. If adopted, the resolution would prevent the DHS rule from taking effect, though the resolution itself does not establish any alternative policy or provide funding. The resolution represents congressional use of the legislative disapproval process to block executive agency actions.
