Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Hunt, Wesley [R-TX-38]

Introduced

Summary

Would let the President declare an "invasion" at the U.S. southern land border and temporarily suspend entry and immigration relief for people who cross unlawfully. It would link that proclamation to new information rules, expanded removal powers for federal agencies, and limits on judicial review for most invasion-era immigration decisions.

Show full summary
  • People who unlawfully cross the U.S.-Mexico land border during a declared invasion would be ineligible for asylum and other immigration relief and could face immediate removal. Courts would have no jurisdiction to review those determinations except for claims of U.S. nationality.
  • Migrants would have to provide public health and security information during an invasion. Failing to provide that information would make them inadmissible and subject to removal, repatriation, or transfer.
  • The Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, and the Attorney General would be authorized to repel, detain, expel, or remove people involved in the invasion and to use federal personnel and assets to prevent further entry. The President would be required to notify Congress within 7 days after issuing or ending an invasion proclamation.

President could declare border invasion

If enacted, the President would be able to declare an "invasion" at the U.S.–Mexico land border. The President would have to notify Congress within seven days of issuing or ending that declaration. During a declared invasion, Homeland Security, State, and Justice would be required to repel, detain, expel, remove, or prevent further entry of people who unlawfully cross the southern land border. The President could suspend entry, including physical entry, of any person who unlawfully enters or attempts to enter during the invasion. People who unlawfully enter during the invasion would be ineligible for asylum, withholding of removal, certain waivers, and other DHS-specified immigration relief, and courts would generally be barred from reviewing those determinations except for U.S. nationality claims. The bill would also make people who fail to provide required information before entry inadmissible and subject to immediate removal, repatriation, or transfer. These authorities would stop when the President proclaims the invasion has ended.
