Referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 5340 would prevent the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from sharing personal information about individuals with immigration enforcement agencies unless the person provides written consent in their preferred language. The bill applies to all HUD records and also prohibits HUD from forcing public housing agencies to disclose such information to immigration authorities, regardless of whether someone is in the country legally or illegally. Within 90 days of the law taking effect, HUD would be required to report to Congress on how it will comply with these restrictions, confirm that records are secure, explain how records were previously shared with immigration agencies, and describe its enforcement plan. This legislation would primarily affect immigrants and mixed-status families who rely on federally-assisted housing, protecting their privacy by creating a wall between housing assistance programs and immigration enforcement operations.
