Federal Reviews Target Trump-Era Immigration Approvals and Workforce Cuts

March 11, 2025 – February 27, 2026

Where Things Stand

H.R. 6978 is currently positioned on the Union Calendar for a House floor vote, threatening to reopen thousands of settled immigration cases for secondary security screening. This push for retroactive reviews coincides with a critical staffing crisis, as federal agencies struggle to operate after losing 4 million years of collective workforce experience in 2025.
