    Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025

    92/100

    What they said

    Apr 30, 2026

    The representatives support legislation that would prohibit the deportation of Vietnamese refugees who arrived in the United States before July 12, 1995, and would codify protections previously established in a 2008 Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Vietnam.

    AI analysis

    The statement supports protecting Vietnamese refugees from deportation and codifying prior protections. The bill increases criminal penalties for illegal entry and reentry. Rep. Correa's NO vote on this amendment is consistent with his stated opposition to deportation policies targeting vulnerable populations — the amendment likely sought to strengthen enforcement mechanisms that would facilitate the deportations he opposes. The vote aligns with his position protecting pre-1995 Vietnamese refugees.

    AI analysis

    Rep. Correa's statement opposes increased DHS funding for ICE and CBP due to lack of oversight and documented misconduct, arguing the agencies have unspent appropriations and do not need additional resources. The bill addresses immigration admissions and deportation bars for individuals linked to Hamas and the October 7 attacks—a distinct immigration enforcement mechanism unrelated to DHS budget levels or agency oversight. Correa voted yes on passage despite his stated opposition to expanding DHS enforcement capacity, indicating a fundamental misalignment between his public position on ICE funding and his vote on this enforcement-related bill.

    AI analysis

    Rep. Correa's statement opposes increased DHS/ICE funding due to lack of oversight, documented misconduct, and wasteful spending. The bill restricts federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions that don't cooperate with immigration enforcement. Correa's NO vote aligns with his stated skepticism of expanding immigration enforcement capacity without safeguards—voting against a bill that would penalize jurisdictions for limiting ICE cooperation is consistent with his position that ICE lacks adequate oversight and has a misconduct record. The vote reflects opposition to strengthening ICE's enforcement leverage.

    Rep. Correa's statement opposes increased DHS funding for ICE and CBP due to lack of oversight mechanisms and documented misconduct, arguing the agencies have unspent appropriations. His NO vote on the FY2024 DHS appropriations bill, which funds ICE and CBP among other agencies, is directionally consistent with that opposition. However, the appropriations bill funds the entire DHS portfolio (FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, USCIS, etc.), not solely ICE/CBP increases, and the statement specifically criticizes a Senate reconciliation bill's $140 billion increase rather than baseline appropriations. The vote reflects opposition to DHS funding broadly, but the specific dollar amounts and legislative vehicle differ between statement and bill.

However, he voted yes on HR-5525, a continuing resolution that maintains FY2023 funding levels for DHS with an 8.1% reduction for other programs and includes provisions restricting DHS use of funds for certain immigration purposes. The vote is procedural (a continuing resolution to prevent shutdown), which complicates direct comparison, but Correa's stated position against enhanced ICE/CBP funding is not clearly advanced by voting yes on a measure that maintains existing levels and includes some restrictions on DHS authority.

    Rep. Correa's statement opposes increased DHS/ICE funding due to lack of oversight and documented misconduct, while the Secure the Border Act focuses on border wall construction and employment verification systems rather than ICE/CBP funding levels or agency oversight mechanisms. The statement and bill address different specific questions within immigration policy—one concerns funding and internal agency accountability, the other concerns border infrastructure and employment verification. The NO vote is consistent with Correa's broader skepticism of DHS enforcement expansion, though the bill does not directly propose the $140 billion ICE/CBP funding increase he criticizes.

CORREA CALLS OUT ILLEGAL IRAN WAR | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Rep. Correa opposes the administration's military action in Iran, arguing that the President violated the War Powers Resolution by failing to seek congressional authorization within the required 60-day deadline and should either justify the conflict to Congress or end it immediately.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) released the following statement after Congress failed to address the 60-day deadline required by the War Powers Resolution of 1973 regarding the administration’s military efforts in Iran: “I have been outspoken in my criticism of how the White House disregarded the Constitution by conducting the Iranian war without justifying its case to Congress and seeking our approval. Current law requires Congress to declare or authorize force within 60 days of military action. That deadline passed today after Congress left Washington without addressing the issue further. “Regardless of a ceasefire, this conflict has dragged out long enough without a proper justification. It has cost the lives of U.S. soldiers and Americans billions of dollars, not only through their taxpayer money but also the gas pump. The President needs to justify this war to Congress and to the American people. Better yet, let’s end this war now.”

CORREA OPPOSES FARM BILL EXTENSION | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Rep. Correa opposes the Farm Bill extension because it would permanently cut SNAP benefits by $187 billion and undermine California's state authority to set animal-welfare standards for food production.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) voted NO on the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R. 7567), which aims to extend the Farm Bill for another five years, due to provisions that would cement deep cuts to SNAP benefits and undermine California’s state rights. “Traditionally, Democrats and Republicans have worked together on the Farm Bill to help farmers stay in business while also feeding the elderly, low-income families, and the homeless. The federal government would buy farmer’s surplus food and the government would then give that food to the less fortunate. But this year, a Farm Bill has been introduced that removes that food assistance, hurting both farmers and the most vulnerable among us,” said Rep. Lou Correa. “As we spend billions of American taxpayer dollars on an unjustified war in Iran and overfund the Department of Homeland Security—which misuses money and abuses American citizens—Congress is now considering permanently cutting SNAP benefits. This legislation is completely unamerican.” Harmful provisions that Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 include: Cementing Deep Cuts to SNAP Benefits: The Farm Bill would codify the $187 billion cuts made to SNAP by Trump’s Big, “Beautiful” Bill, impacting 40 million Americans, including 16 million children, 8 million seniors, 1.2 million veterans, and 4 million people with disabilities. 3.4 million Americans have already had food assistance taken away. According to the California Association of Food Banks, 123,200 people in California’s 46th Congressional District relied on SNAP last year. Undermining California’s State Rights: The Farm Bill would keep states from setting their own food standards. In 2018, nearly two thirds of California voters approved a ballot measure that increased protections for animals raised for food. This ballot measure was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in May 2023. A provision in the Farm Bill seeks to undermine the California animal-welfare law again. “After California voted to enforce stronger animal-welfare protections, multiple attempts have been made to shut down their voices—a clear attack on states’ rights,” Rep. Correa added. “As someone who cares about the political process, the rights of Californians, and the humane treatment of animals, I cannot stand for this. The American people deserve a clean Farm Bill.” This legislation is opposed by numerous organizations, including Second Harvest of Orange County, California Food Banks, Community Action Partnership of Orange County, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, American Association for Justice, ASPCA, Center for American Progress, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Center for Science in the Public Interest, Catholic Relief Services, CARE Chefs' Table, Carbon180, Climate Action Campaign, Coalition on Human Needs, Environmental Defense Fund, Environmental Working Group, Evangelical Environmental Network, Evergreen Action, Feeding America, Food & Water Watch, Food Research & Action Center, Friends Committee on National Legislation, HEAL Food Alliance, Hunger Free America, Interfaith Power and Light, James Beard Foundation, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger, MomsRising, National Education Association, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides, Oregon Food Bank, Oxfam, UFCW, Union of Concerned Scientists, and UnidosUS.

CORREA REINTRODUCES HONOR OUR COMMITMENT ACT | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: The representatives support legislation that would prohibit the deportation of Vietnamese refugees who arrived in the United States before July 12, 1995, and would codify protections previously established in a 2008 Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Vietnam.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representatives Lou Correa (CA-46) and Derek Tran (CA-45) reintroduced the Honor Our Commitment Act, which would prohibit the deportation of Vietnamese refugees who came to the United States prior to July 12, 1995, when relations between the U.S. and Vietnam were normalized. These refugees face risk of deportation under the current administration's anti-immigration policies. Rep. Henry Johnson (GA-4) served as a co-sponsor for the legislation. “Orange County is home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, who created a vibrant culture and booming economy that shaped our community for the better. Vietnam War refugees saw the opportunity that lay before them and made the best of it,” said Rep. Lou Correa. “We need to make sure that we protect those refugees, many of whom worked with Americans and fought alongside our troops in the war. Returning these refugees to Vietnam poses a threat to their lives, liberty, and security. They have earned the right to be in America, and they shouldn’t be forced to return to a country they left decades ago.” The Honor Our Commitment Act would codify protections given to Vietnamese refugees in the U.S. under a 2008 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Vietnam that included protection from deportation for pre-1995 refugees. The MOU was honored by President Barack Obama. In the last months of his first term, President Trump renegotiated the MOU with Vietnam to remove the protection and allow for deportations of refugees. Under the Honor Our Commitments Act, a Vietnamese national who arrived in the U.S. on or before July 12, 1995 and has continuously resided in the U.S. since, and is subject to a final order of removal, cannot be detained or deported. The legislation provides exceptions for cases in which the individual is determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security to be directly responsible for harming the security of the U.S., or the individual is subject to criminal extradition. “As the son of Vietnamese refugees and the first Vietnamese American to represent Orange County’s Little Saigon in Congress, I am committed to protecting the Vietnamese refugees, many of whom fought alongside American troops, who came to this country in search of freedom and democracy. The Vietnamese American community has defined what it means to achieve the American dream, working tirelessly and passing on a better life to our children. We must ensure that Vietnamese refugees are protected and able to prosper in the country they have called home for decades,” said Rep. Tran. According to the Orange County Register, the Little Saigon neighborhood in Orange County is home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, with nearly 100,000 Vietnamese Americans residing there who make up more than 46 percent of the residents in the Little Saigon neighborhood and 6.8 percent of the County’s population. Little Saigon started out as a small community of Vietnam War refugees in Westminster who started small businesses and eventually grew into a thriving residential and business community that extended to parts of Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, and Santa Ana. Part of this neighborhood is located in California’s 46th Congressional District, which Rep. Correa represents.

CORREA VOTES NO AGAIN ON FISA | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Representative Correa opposes extending FISA Section 702 authority without additional reforms or warrant requirements for collecting data on U.S. citizens, citing concerns about surveillance and lack of constitutional protections.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) released the following statement after he voted NO on extending the authority of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) 702 program until June 12. 2026 without any additional reforms or a warrant requirement for collecting data on U.S. citizens. “I am again voting NO on FISA. I do not trust this Administration, as they have ordered federal agencies to share information in order to surveil and target U.S. citizens for political purposes. There are still no guardrails on this bill to protect Americans. “To quote my friend Representative Massie: ‘a short-term infringement of the Constituent is still an infringement of the Constitution.’"

CORREA OPPOSES FISA OVER THREAT TO CIVIL LIBERTIES | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Congressman Correa opposes the three-year FISA reauthorization, citing concerns that it permits government surveillance of Americans without judicial warrants and given the current administration's track record of civil liberties violations.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) gave this statement after voting NO on S. 1318, the three-year extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that outlines how U.S. intelligence agencies collect and search records on communications of foreign agents or suspected terrorists outside the United States: “While I have supported FISA in the past, I cannot in good faith support this reauthorization now because of this administration’s track record of violating the civil liberties of U.S. citizens, especially when it comes to federal agencies illegally invading the privacy of Americans. "I cannot support a bill that allows the government to spy on Americans without a judicial warrant."

CORREA APPLAUDS RECLASSIFICATION OF STATE-LICENSED MEDICAL MARIJUANA | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) released the following statement in response to the Department of Justice reclassifying state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III on the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) today after President Donald Trump issued an executive order last December to expedite the process: “I’ve spoken to countless veterans in Orange County who use marijuana to relieve PTSD symptoms.  “With the Administration moving to reclassify cannabis as Schedule III, my colleagues should join me in considering smart, evidence-based policy that supports the well-being of those who risked their lives in service to our country. “Thank you, President Trump for this announcement. “I am ready to work with Republicans and Democrats to get this done.”

CORREA CRITICAL OF DHS FRAUD, WASTE, ABUSE AMID FUNDING DEBATE | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Rep. Correa opposes the Senate reconciliation bill's $140 billion funding increase for ICE and CBP, arguing the agencies lack adequate oversight mechanisms and have documented records of misconduct against U.S. citizens, and that ICE has not fully spent previous appropriations.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46)—Ranking Member of the Homeland Subcommittee on Border Security & Enforcement and Member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement—criticized the Senate reconciliation bill for aiming to give the Trump Administration’s Department of Homeland Security an additional $140 Billion for ICE and CBP when agency safeguards are not included amid documented cases of ICE misconduct involving American citizens. The Senate approved the resolution last night. “It is unconscionable that Congress could grant such a large amount of money to DHS, when ICE has already been flooded with more money than it has ever requested before. Just like the funding increase the agency received last summer from ‘the Big, Ugly Bill,’ there is no indication that ICE guardrails are included in the Senate bill, including forcing agents to show their faces and agency transparency,” said Rep. Lou Correa. “ICE does not need this large slush fund for deportations and immigration enforcement. So what do they need it for? Trump’s former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has already spent the agency's budget to buy a luxury private jet and produce highly produced TV ads—an egregious waste of taxpayer money.” While ICE typically receives $10 billion each year, ICE received an additional $75 billion under President Donald Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill. If passed and signed into law in its current text, the Senate reconciliation bill would provide an additional $140 Billion for ICE and CBP. Based on publicly available data from OMB, the Senate Budget Committee estimated that ICE has still not used $63.2 billion of the money it received under Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill. ICE and CPB officers' misconduct is well-documented. During yesterday’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing on ICE & CBP abuse of Americans, Rep. Correa questioned four U.S. citizens about their altercations with DHS agents. All the witnesses stated there all testified that they had not broken any laws and had never been convicted of crimes, they were still profiled, targeted, detained, and attacked by DHS agents. The witnesses included: Marimar Martinez: A preschool teacher who was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent after he rammed her vehicle as she drove through a Chicago neighborhood. Reverend David Black: A Senior Pastor at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago who was outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility praying when DHS law enforcement officers shot him with pepper balls multiple times. The Reverend testified that ICE officers laughed as it happened. George Retes: An Iraq combat veteran, was on his way to work last July when DHS agents pepper sprayed him, arrested him, and locked him up for three days before finally releasing him. Ryan Eckland: A U.S. citizen from Minnesota, was violently arrested and detained for hours without explanation after recording ICE activity from his vehicle. “Although I hold the men and women of law enforcement in high regard, no law enforcement agency is above the law,” Rep. Lou Correa added. “Yet, ICE operates as if they have full and total immunity, even when it comes to surveilling, arresting, assaulting, and shooting law abiding U.S. citizens. Americans have constitutional rights that must be respected, and ICE does not have free rein to disrespect those rights and harass U.S. citizens.”

CORREA LEADS CALL TO REMOVE HARMFUL HOUSING PROVISIONS FROM SENATE BILL | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Representatives Correa and Alford, leading 76 House members, call for the removal or substantial revision of Section 901 of the Senate's 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, arguing that its Build-to-Rent provisions would decrease housing supply and harm affordability efforts.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representatives Lou Correa (CA-46) and Mark Alford (MO-04), Co-Chairs of the Congressional Real Estate Caucus, led a letter of 76 House Members to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, calling on leadership to strip or revise disastrous provisions for Build-to-Rent homebuilding from the Senate’s ROAD to Housing Act. The members want these provisions removed from the final legislation because they would undermine efforts to address our nation’s housing supply and affordability crises. “We write to express serious concerns regarding provisions included in the Senate-passed 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act that would undermine efforts to address our nation’s housing supply and affordability crisis,” the Members wrote. “While we applaud the Senate’s efforts to promote homeownership, a key plank of the American Dream, Section 901 would decrease the housing supply and harm Americans. We urge you to ensure Section 901 is modified to remove provisions that are harmful to increasing the supply of affordable housing.” The other Co-Chairs of the Congressional Real Estate Caucus—Representatives Tracey Mann (KS-01), Brittany Pettersen (CO-07)—and the Congressional Build America Caucus Chairs—Representatives Celeste Maloy (UT-02) and Josh Harder (CA-09)—also led the letter. “At a time when the nation faces a housing supply gap of millions of units, Congress should be focused on policies that increase supply, lower costs, and expand opportunity, not measures that reduce housing production and limit options for American families,” the Members added. “For these reasons, we respectfully urge you to strip or substantially revise these harmful provisions as the House considers the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. We stand ready to work with you to ensure that final legislation advances policies that meaningfully address the nation’s housing challenges and support American families.” Organizations supporting the member’s letter include National Association of Home Builders, National Apartments Association, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Multifamily Housing Council, Mortgage Bankers Association, National Rental Home Council, Leading Builders of America, National Housing Conference, National Leased Housing Association, Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition, The Real Estate Roundtable, and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.

CORREA APPLAUDS TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDER ON PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY RESEARCH | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Rep. Correa supports increased federal research into psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly for treating PTSD, mental health conditions, and addiction in veterans. He advocates for rescheduling psychedelics from Schedule I to enable more medical studies and clinical trials.

SANTA ANA, CA — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) celebrated President Donald Trump’s executive order to increase research into psychedelic-assisted therapy, which has been a top priority of the Congressman. “President Trump and I agree on this one. This is good for our veterans. Psychedelics promise to cure PTSD, mental health, alcoholism, drug addiction, Alzheimer’s and other ailments,” said Rep. Lou Correa. “Is it the magic cure? That’s what it looks like. Let’s find out. First, we need to declassify from schedule one so that more medical studies are performed. Thank you President Trump.” President Trump’s executive order increase research into psychedelic therapies, by specifically: Directing the FDA to issue new guidance to researchers on how to design clinical trials for these types of drugs. Committing $50 million in federal funding for ibogaine research. Directing the Attorney General to reschedule psychedelics that have completed FDA phase 3 trials. Directing HHS and FDA to collaborate with the VA to increase clinical trials and data sharing on psychedelic therapies. Directing FDA and DEA to add ibogaine as a therapy under the Right to Try Act—which allows terminally ill patients to participate in clinical trials for treatments still under FDA review. Rep. Correa also co-founded the Congressional Psychedelics Advancing Therapies (PATH) Caucus with Representative General Jack Bergman to address ways to alleviate the national mental health crisis through psychedelic science and research. Together, Representatives Correa and Bergman have led efforts in Congress to promote psychedelic treatments for veterans suffering from PTSD, by advocating for more research funding, making it easier for terminally ill patients to try psychedelic therapies, and eventually including approved psychedelic therapies into veterans' VA care options

CORREA VOTES TO REMOVE U.S. FORCES FROM IRAN WAR | U.S. Congressman Lou Correa of California

Position: Rep. Correa voted to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran, arguing that Congress has not authorized the military action and that the President has not justified the war's objectives or end conditions to Congress.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) released the following statement after he voted YES on H.Con.Res.40 to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran that have not been authorized by Congress: “Congress is the branch of government with the sole power to declare war. “We are at war in Iran. Yet, the President has yet to justify to Congress why we are engaged in this war, what the objectives are, when these objectives will be accomplished, and what a win looks like. Congress needs to reassert our authority to declare war. This nation must not be part of any efforts to destroy the Persian Civilization or any other civilization.  “I am voting for the Iran war powers legislation to cease American efforts in this war.”
