Latest Action · June 8, 2026
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Homeland Security, Ways and Means, and Foreign Affairs, 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. 9199, the Permanent Trump Secure Border Act, comprehensively overhauls border security and immigration enforcement. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to immediately resume border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, targeting at least 900 miles with physical barriers and surveillance technology, while authorizing $158 million for technology upgrades including communication devices and license plate readers by 2025. It substantially tightens asylum eligibility by narrowing the definition of who qualifies for protection, restricting claims based on particular social groups or political opinion, and expanding criminal grounds for asylum denial to include felonies, drug trafficking, and domestic violence. The legislation also modifies protections for unaccompanied migrant children by requiring faster processing and return timelines, creates criminal penalties for visa overstays, mandates strategic planning and staffing models for border agencies, and repeals certain labor regulations for temporary agricultural workers. Additionally, the bill requires expedited asylum processing for nationals of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, directs development of staffing models for border personnel within one year, and mandates annual reporting to Congress on foreign terrorist organization infiltration attempts and border security progress.
