H.R. 6072 would prohibit federal funding to non-governmental organizations and the Department of the Interior for providing immigration-related services to adults without lawful status in the United States. Specifically, the bill bars federal funds from being used to offer legal representation for immigration cases, housing or shelter, or transportation to adults who entered the country illegally. The legislation includes an exception for minors under age 18, who would continue to be eligible for these services with federal funding. Government agencies would be required to monitor compliance with the restrictions, and the law would take effect immediately upon passage, applying to all new grants, contracts, and funding agreements going forward. The bill directly affects nonprofit organizations that receive federal money and currently provide immigration legal services and humanitarian assistance to undocumented immigrants.
