Occurrences
Evidence
Sponsor: Rep. Bice, Stephanie I. [R-OK-5] (Introduced 05/19/2025). Latest Action: Senate - 09/15/2025 Received in the Senate. The bill establishes or increases criminal penalties for certain non-U.S. nationals who illegally enter the United States and then commit a felony or illegally reenter the United States.
The House passed the final four FY26 appropriations bills, including Homeland Security. The office statement says the bill package continues the work of the Appropriations Committee toward getting all twelve appropriations bills signed into law.
Assessments
Bice materially supported stronger immigration enforcement by sponsoring H.R. 3486, the Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025, which passed the House and was sent to the Senate, and by backing FY26 Homeland Security appropriations covering border-security and enforcement functions. However, the cited evidence does not show final enactment of her enforcement bill or completion of the broader promised outcome of maintaining order at the southern border and achieving common-sense immigration reforms. This merits partial credit for serious legislative support and advancement, not full delivery.
