About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · November 7, 2025
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, 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. 5979 requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish tracking systems for immigration documents sent through the mail. Within 180 days of passage, the Secretary of Homeland Security must create rules requiring that any immigration-related document mailed by the U.S. Postal Service include either a trackable barcode or require the recipient's signature upon delivery. The bill affects anyone receiving immigration documents by mail from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and it applies only to mailed documents, not those delivered in person. No specific funding is allocated in the legislation, and the primary deadline is 180 days after enactment for the Department of Homeland Security to issue the necessary regulations.
