Govbase - How Policy Affects You
- TSA workers are screening passengers without paychecks as the DHS shutdown drags on over a voter ID dispute, causing hours-long airport lines — and the administration's fix is sending ICE agents to help run security checkpoints.
- Naturalized citizens convicted of terrorism, spying, or fraud over $10,000 within 10 years of becoming Americans could be stripped of citizenship and deported without standard court review under the SCAM Act, which already has 45+ House cosponsors.
- Non-citizen commercial truck and bus drivers would lose their licenses under The Dalilah Law, which also forces English-only testing and threatens to cut federal transit funding to states that don't comply.
- Veterans with spinal cord injuries would get guaranteed annual checkups and access to exoskeleton technology under the Veterans STAND Act, while a separate bill would make injured first responders wait no more than 270 days for disability claims.
