Legislative Activity

The Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025 mandates a comprehensive study by the Comptroller General to identify barriers to digitizing aviation supply chain documentation. This initiative aims to combat counterfeit parts and falsified records by evaluating the transition from paper-based systems to secure, standardized digital verification tools. The resulting report will provide actionable recommendations to accelerate the adoption of digital authentication across the aviation industry and the Federal Aviation Administration.

This Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct a comprehensive border threat assessment on the criminal organization Tren de Aragua. Following this assessment, the Secretary must submit a strategic plan detailing how to counter the identified threats along the nation's borders. The legislation aims to enhance security by focusing federal efforts against this specific transnational criminal organization.

The Punishing Illegal Immigrant Felons Act of 2025 significantly increases prison sentences for non-citizens who commit crimes after entering the U.S. illegally or after being previously removed. This legislation mandates substantial minimum prison terms—including an additional five years for illegal entry followed by a felony conviction and a new ten-year minimum for re-entry after deportation coupled with a crime. The bill aims to impose much harsher penalties on undocumented immigrants who commit serious offenses.
