The Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025 mandates a study on the obstacles preventing the aviation industry from adopting digital documentation and verification tools. This effort aims to enhance the integrity of aerospace parts documentation to combat falsified paperwork and counterfeit components. The resulting report will provide Congress with recommendations for accelerating the industry-wide transition to digital records and authentication methods.

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.
