Congress.gov lists H.R.6 as introduced March 12, 2019, passed by the House on June 4, 2019, and latest action in the Senate on June 10, 2019. CRS summary says the bill would create a path toward permanent resident status and streamlined procedures for DACA recipients.
Trahan supported a concrete DACA/Dreamer legalization bill in her first term, but Congress.gov shows it stopped after House passage and did not become law.
Congress.gov lists H.R.6 as passed by the House on March 18, 2021, 228-197, and latest action as a Senate Judiciary hearing on June 15, 2021. The summary says the bill provided a path to permanent resident status and addressed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.
Trahan continued backing Dreamer/DACA reform in a later term, but the 2021 bill also did not become law.
Congress.gov lists H.R.16 as introduced June 15, 2023, referred to House committees, and status Introduced. The CRS summary says it would provide certain non-U.S. nationals with a path to permanent resident status and protect information in DACA requests from immigration enforcement use.
The 2023 version did not advance beyond introduction, so it is evidence of continued effort but not fulfillment.
Congress.gov lists H.R.4393 with Republican sponsor Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, introduced July 15, 2025, referred to multiple House committees, and status Introduced.
The current-term DIGNIDAD Act is a bipartisan immigration reform vehicle, but as of the provided date it has not passed the House, Senate, or become law.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Trahan, Lori [D-MA-3] as a cosponsor dated 07/15/2025, alongside both Republican and Democratic cosponsors.
Trahan joined a clearly bipartisan immigration reform bill at introduction, supporting an effort badge but not delivery because the bill remains unenacted.
The bill text includes Division B, Dignity and American Dream, Title I, Dream Act, and a special procedure for applicants with DACA to apply for adjustment to lawful permanent residence on a conditional basis.
The bill text directly addresses Dreamers and DACA recipients, confirming the relevance of Trahan's 2025 bipartisan reform effort.
Trahan made serious bipartisan legislative efforts for DACA recipients and DREAMers, including original cosponsorship of the 2019 American Dream and Promise Act and voting for its House passage with some Republican support. She continued similar efforts in later Congresses, including cosponsoring 2021, 2023, and 2025 Dreamer/DACA reform bills. However, none of the cited bills became law, so the promised reform was advanced but not delivered.
