What’s happening with Reuniting Families Act?
The Reuniting Families Act is currently stalled in the House and Senate Judiciary Committees as of June 9, 2026. Members of these committees must hold a vote to move the bills forward, but the binding constraint is that most immigration legislation fails to receive a committee hearing. Historically, the vast majority of bills die in committee without ever reaching a full vote.
