The KAMALA Act prohibits housing and community development grants from being used to assist individuals who are not U.S. nationals or lawfully admitted for permanent residence. It also prevents the Secretary from providing grants to any state, local government, or Indian tribe that administers housing or community development programs offering assistance to individuals who are not U.S. nationals or lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

Grant's Law mandates the detention of aliens unlawfully present in the U.S. who are arrested for offenses that would make them inadmissible or deportable. It requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to detain these individuals and initiate removal proceedings, completing them within 90 days of detention. The law also allows the Secretary to release aliens to the appropriate authority for proceedings after arrest, resuming custody when necessary, and ensures continued detention until removal proceedings are complete, even if the alien is not convicted of the offense for which they were arrested.

The FIND Act prohibits federal agencies from contracting with entities that discriminate against the firearm and ammunition industry. It requires federal contractors to certify they do not discriminate against firearm entities and prohibits them from awarding subcontracts to entities that do not provide a similar certification. Violations of these clauses will result in contract termination. The act defines "discriminate" as making judgments or refusing/limiting services based on biased criteria, rather than case-by-case evaluations, empirical data, financial risk, or legal non-compliance.
