The "Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act" mandates the detention and deportation of aliens who have illegally entered the United States or misrepresented themselves upon entry and have been found to have assaulted a law enforcement officer. The bill defines assault and law enforcement officer and requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue a detainer for any alien described above and to take them into custody.

The "No Child Tax Credit for Illegals Act of 2025" amends the tax code to require both the taxpayer and qualifying child to have a social security number to claim the child tax credit. The social security number must be issued by the Social Security Administration to a U.S. citizen or someone authorized to work in the United States. Failure to include a valid social security number will be treated as a mathematical error. This requirement applies to tax years beginning after the enactment of this law.

The Foreign Medical Program Modernization Act of 2025 expands the Department of Veterans Affairs' Foreign Medical Program by removing the requirement that care and services must be for a service-connected disability. It also mandates updating the payment system to allow for reimbursements through electronic fund transfer. Finally, it requires an assessment of contracting with a non-Department entity to create a network for providing care under this program.
