Govbase - How Policy Affects You
- TSA workers are going without pay during a DHS shutdown while the administration deploys immigration agents to airport security checkpoints — travelers should expect disruptions and longer lines at airports nationwide.
- Naturalized citizens convicted of terrorism, espionage, or fraud over $10,000 within 10 years of becoming Americans could be stripped of citizenship and deported under the SCAM Act, which already has 54 congressional co-sponsors and backing in both chambers.
- Commercial truck and bus drivers who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents would lose their licenses under The Dalilah Law, which also requires English-only CDL testing and forces states to re-verify every current holder's legal status or lose federal transit funding.
- Veterans with spinal cord injuries would get guaranteed annual health exams and access to advanced mobility technology like exoskeletons under the Veterans STAND Act, while injured first responders could see faster disability benefit processing under a new 270-day claims deadline.
