The bill increases criminal penalties for unlawful entry and reentry into the United States. It raises the maximum prison term for improper entry under Section 275 of the Immigration and Nationality Act from 2 years to 5 years, and adds a new offense: a person who enters unlawfully and is later convicted of any crime punishable by more than one year in prison faces a mandatory minimum of 5 years and up to life. For illegal reentry after removal under Section 276, the bill rewrites the penalty structure: a baseline of up to 10 years; up to 15 years for those with three or more prior drug or crimes-against-the-person misdemeanors; and a mandatory minimum of 10 years, up to life, for those previously convicted of an aggravated felony, any felony, or any crime punishable by more than one year. It defines a stipulated removal during a criminal trial as a "removal" for these purposes and shifts consent authority for reentry from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 10 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 23 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 7 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: The Sentencing Project; Casa, Inc.; International Union of Police Associations AFL-CIO; American Civil Liberties Union; Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 5 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
