The "No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act of 2025" amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to prevent any alien who unlawfully enters the United States from becoming a naturalized citizen. This prohibition applies regardless of other immigration regulations or circumstances.

The "Prohibiting Automatic Rights to Enter National Territory Act of 2025" or the "PARENT Act of 2025" amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify birthright citizenship. It specifies that individuals born in the U.S. are only considered citizens if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of their birth. This change applies to those born after the Act's enactment.

The Department of Government Efficiency Act, also known as the DOGE Act, codifies Executive Order 14210 into law. This gives the Executive Order the full force and effect of a statute passed by Congress.

The Reinforcing Sanctions on Iranian Terrorists Act requires the President to determine whether to apply sanctions to the Iran Airports Company, which facilitates Mahan Air's operations, due to Mahan Air's support for terrorist activities and the Iranian government's destabilizing actions. This determination must be submitted to Congress within 90 days of the Act's enactment. The Act reinforces existing sanctions against Mahan Air, which has been identified as supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-Qods Force.

This bill authorizes the Department of State to protect its facilities and assets from drone threats by detecting, tracking, disrupting, and, if necessary, destroying drones. It mandates coordination with agencies like the FAA and FCC, requires adherence to constitutional protections, and includes congressional oversight through regular briefings and funding reports. The authorization terminates after seven years.

The "Embassy Construction Integrity Act of 2025" restricts the State Department from acquiring or leasing buildings for diplomatic posts abroad if a Chinese government-controlled entity was involved in its construction or has an ownership stake. It also restricts agreements with these entities for construction work on such buildings. The Secretary of State must notify Congress of any exceptions made in the interest of national security, along with justifications and risk mitigation plans.

The "Preventing SBA Assistance from Going to China Act" amends the Small Business Act to prevent businesses with significant ties to the People's Republic of China from being classified as a small business. A business is ineligible if it is based or incorporated in China, or if more than 25% of its voting stock is owned by Chinese citizens or entities. This ensures that SBA assistance is not directed towards businesses affiliated with the Chinese government.

The "DEI to DIE Act" eliminates diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and positions within the Federal Government, redirecting focus to individual merit and equal dignity. It mandates the termination of DEI initiatives across federal agencies, requiring detailed reports on DEI-related expenditures and activities. The Act also revises federal employment practices to ensure they reward individual skills and performance, and establishes a monitoring system to prevent the resurgence of DEI programs under different labels.

This bill amends House rules to allow staffers who are members of the armed forces and already hold a security clearance from the Department of Defense to be exempt from the limit on the number of employees in a Member's office who can have security clearances. This exemption applies to staffers working for members of specific House committees and subcommittees related to defense, homeland security, foreign affairs, and intelligence. The employee's security clearance level cannot be higher than their existing Department of Defense clearance or the highest level the office can sponsor.
