Laken Riley Act This act requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain certain non-U.S. nationals ( aliens under federal law) who have been arrested for burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, or any crime that results in death or serious bodily injury to another person. The act also authorizes states to sue the federal government for decisions or alleged failures related to immigration enforcement. Under this act, DHS must detain an individual who (1) is unlawfully present in the United States or did not possess the necessary documents when applying for admission; and (2) has been charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admits to having committed acts that constitute the essential elements of the above crimes. The act also authorizes state governments to sue for injunctive relief over certain immigration-related decisions or alleged failures by the federal government if the decision or failure caused the state or its residents harm, including financial harm of more than $100. Specifically, the state government may sue the federal government over a decision to release a non-U.S. national from custody; failure to fulfill requirements relating to inspecting individuals seeking admission into the United States, including requirements related to asylum interviews; failure to fulfill a requirement to stop issuing visas to nationals of a country that unreasonably denies or delays acceptance of nationals of that country; violation of limitations on immigration parole, such as the requirement that parole be granted only on a case-by-case basis; or failure to detain an individual who has been ordered removed from the United States.

NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that will substantially expand detention and deportation of law-abiding immigrants who contribute to our communities. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention. NETWORK opposed S. 5, the Laken-Riley Bill. The bill raises serious due process concerns by requiring mandatory detention in cases where people have been accused of theft and other petty crimes. Additional concerns include the guaranteed right to sue for states that disagree with federal immigration policy (including threatening the exclusions of visa to entire countries). NETWORK strongly opposes H.R. 1 for many reasons including spending approximately 900 billion dollars in immigration enforcement, detention and deportation which will separate families and terror law-abiding immigrant communities across the country. NETWORK strongly supports: Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (H.R. 1061) which would prohibit enforcement actions like arrests or searches at places such as schools, hospitals, churches, courthouses, DMVs, and homeless shelters. American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 (H.R. 1589) which would provide a pathway to citizenship to Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. It would also include recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) beneficiaries. Religious Workforce Protection Act (H.R. 2672 / S. 1298) which would amend immigration law to allow foreign-born religious workers (R-1 visa holders) to remain in the U.S. past the current 5-year limit while awaiting permanent residency (EB-4) approval, preventing mandatory one-year departures. Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act (H.R. 3763 / S. 1965) which would eliminate employment-based visa caps for abused, abandoned, and neglected children who are classified as special immigrant juveniles. The Dream Act (S. 3348) which would provide a path to lawful permanent residency and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as "Dreamers". The Dignity for Detained Immigrant Act (HR 6397) which would reform the U.S. detention system by ending mandatory detention, prohibiting family detention, and phasing out private detention facilities over three years. NETWORK opposes funding proposals for ICE and CBP without adequate protections for communities to stop oppose and mass deportations. These agencies are not living up to obligations to conduct themselves with humanity and care for individuals. Rather they are unaccountable agents who disregard basic standards of human dignity and care. They should not be funded unless they overhaul operations and apply basic policing standards to their work. NETWORK Lobby strongly opposed the budget resolution and legislative text of a $70 billion reconciliation bill (Secure America Act, S.2) exclusively focused on immigration enforcement. This bill expands funding for mass deportation and detention of immigrant community members, and fails to include legal protections to ensure immigration enforcement is executed in a humane manner consistent with other law enforcement agencies. NETWORK strongly supports H.R. 1689, a bill to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status. This is critical to ensure current Haitian TPS holders can remain in the US and have valid work authorization. NETWORK strongly opposes the Deport Alien Gang Members Act, a bill that would drastically expand the federal governments authority to label activists as gang members and expedite their removal.

NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that will substantially expand detention and deportation of law-abiding immigrants who contribute to our communities. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention. NETWORK opposed S. 5, the Laken-Riley Bill. The bill raises serious due process concerns by requiring mandatory detention in cases where people have been accused of theft and other petty crimes. Additional concerns include the guaranteed right to sue for states that disagree with federal immigration policy (including threatening the exclusions of visa to entire countries). NETWORK strongly opposes H.R. 1 for many reasons including spending approximately 900 billion dollars in immigration enforcement, detention and deportation which will separate families and terror law-abiding immigrant communities across the country. NETWORK strongly supports: Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (H.R. 1061) which would prohibit enforcement actions like arrests or searches at places such as schools, hospitals, churches, courthouses, DMVs, and homeless shelters. American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 (H.R. 1589) which would provide a pathway to citizenship to Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. It would also include recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) beneficiaries. Religious Workforce Protection Act (H.R. 2672 / S. 1298) which would amend immigration law to allow foreign-born religious workers (R-1 visa holders) to remain in the U.S. past the current 5-year limit while awaiting permanent residency (EB-4) approval, preventing mandatory one-year departures. Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act (H.R. 3763 / S. 1965) which would eliminate employment-based visa caps for abused, abandoned, and neglected children who are classified as special immigrant juveniles. The Dream Act (S. 3348) which would provide a path to lawful permanent residency and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as "Dreamers". The Dignity for Detained Immigrant Act (HR 6397) which would reform the U.S. detention system by ending mandatory detention, prohibiting family detention, and phasing out private detention facilities over three years. NETWORK opposes funding proposals for ICE and CBP without adequate protections for communities to stop oppose and mass deportations. These agencies are not living up to obligations to conduct themselves with humanity and care for individuals. Rather they are unaccountable agents who disregard basic standards of human dignity and care. They should not be funded unless they overhaul operations and apply basic policing standards to their work.
