Voting in D.C.: The House is set to consider H.R.884, which would prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia. It would also repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which allows eligible non-citizen residents to vote locally.

District of Columbia Federal Immigration Compliance: The House will consider H.R.2056, which would  amend federal law to specify that the District of Columbia (D.C.) government must comply with requests from federal immigration authorities to share information and detain aliens (non-U.S. nationals). Specifically, it would prevent D.C. from having policies or practices that restrict communication with federal immigration authorities or compliance with requests for information or detention. 

Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl: The Senate is set to begin consideration of S.331, which would permanently place fentanyl-related substances as a class into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

Protecting Our Nation’s Capital: House members will take up legislation aimed at restoring due process rights for Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers and addressing crime in Washington, D.C. As recently as 2023, D.C. was rated the fifth deadliest city in America.
