The Mobile Post Office Relief Act mandates the Postal Service to deploy mobile retail units to areas where a postal facility is temporarily closed and located far from other postal services. These mobile units must be deployed within three business days of a closure, or within 30 days if the facility is already closed when the law is enacted. The mobile units will offer essential services such as selling packaging, providing access to P.O. boxes, and processing change-of-address forms until the original facility reopens.

The "No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act" aims to withhold certain federal funds from state and local governments deemed "sanctuary jurisdictions" that obstruct the sharing of immigration status information or compliance with detainment requests from Homeland Security. These jurisdictions would be ineligible for federal funds intended to benefit individuals in the U.S. without legal immigration status. The Department of Homeland Security is required to report annually to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on non-compliant states and local governments.
