Rep. Roy Statement on House Floor Action: FISA, Budget Resolution, and Farm Bill
Position: Rep. Roy opposed FISA reauthorization as insufficiently protective of Fourth Amendment rights and lacking adequate warrant requirements, supported the FY26 Budget Resolution to fund border enforcement, and supported the Farm Bill for its conservation of SNAP work requirements, local meat processing deregulation, state pesticide authority, and foreign land-ownership restrictions.
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) issued the following statement after voting against S. 1318 - Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act and voting in favor of S. Con. Res. 33 - FY26 Budget Resolution and H.R. 7567 - Farm, Food, and National Security Act.
“While this reauthorization of FISA includes some modest reforms, it ultimately falls short of the meaningful changes required to safeguard Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights. The legislation does not establish adequate warrant requirements and omits critical provisions, including my amendment to eliminate the ‘kill switch’ in Americans’ vehicles. Although it contained a strong provision to prohibit a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), that measure has already been declared dead on arrival in the Senate by Majority Leader Thune.
I supported the Budget Resolution because it delivers essential funding for the patriotic men and women serving in ICE and the Border Patrol. While I would have preferred a more responsible approach, Democrats’ actions left us with limited options, effectively forcing a narrower path to ensure our border enforcement personnel receive the resources they need.
While not perfect, I supported the Farm Bill because it preserves key conservative SNAP reforms secured in the One Big Beautiful Bill, includes a provision that gets the federal government out of the way of local meat processing that I have long fought for, removes a provision that would have prohibited states like Texas from managing pesticides as they see fit, and includes my call for banning foreign adversaries from buying American farmland. My colleagues and I also fought to force an amendment vote on prohibiting soda from being eligible for SNAP. Unfortunately, this vote failed with 55 Republicans joining 183 Democrats to vote against it.
Finally, I also successfully fought to separate from the Farm Bill a disastrous bill that would have given way to an increased mandate of ethanol blended into our oil, threatened our nation’s refining capability, and further entrenched the disastrous Renewable Fuel Standard program.”
Position: Rep. Roy opposes the U visa program, arguing it has become a vehicle for fraud and abuse by undocumented immigrants and should be repealed. He contends the program has grown excessively, created a large backlog, and functions as de facto amnesty.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced the End U Visa Abuse Act, which would end a program that was originally created to support alleged crime victims, but has become a breeding ground for fraud and abuse by illegal aliens.
“The U visa program is a magnet for fraud, allowing illegal aliens to game the system, avoid deportation, and secure work permits they were never meant to have in the first place. This broken program undermines the rule of law and encourages further illegal immigration by allowing immigration lawbreakers to claim they are crime victims to potentially qualify for the visa. Alleged victimization should not be a basis for securing a green card - it’s time we end the fraud-ridden U visa program once and for all,” said Congressman Roy.
"The U visa program has become yet another in a line of immigration programs that may have begun as a well-intentioned tool but has since become rife with fraud and abuse. The program has grown by over 500% since 2009, ballooning to a backlog of over 400,000 pending applications. As it stands now, the U visa operates as little more than a de facto amnesty program for illegal aliens who learn how to game the system. Absent a serious effort to reform the program, it should be repealed. IAP applauds Congressman Roy's End U Visa Abuse Act,” said Grant Newman, Director of Government Relations, Immigration Accountability Project.
"The U visa is the most absurd immigration program ever conceived. The federal government hands illegal aliens—and their entire extended families—a path to U.S. citizenship simply for accusing an American of a crime. No investigation, no prosecution, no conviction required. The accused citizen gets no notice, no hearing, and no right to defend themselves. Worse: federal law actually forbids USCIS from denying the visa based solely on the accused citizen's evidence. Representative Roy's bill ends this madness,” said Cody M. Brown, Esq., Managing Attorney, Codias Law

Rep. Roy Asks Health and Human Services to Suspend Funding for CAIR
Position: Rep. Roy calls on the Department of Health and Human Services to suspend federal funding for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and initiate debarment proceedings, citing alleged ties to terrorist organizations and misuse of federal grant funds. He also references legislation he introduced to designate CAIR as a terrorist organization and revoke its tax-exempt status.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) is asking Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to suspend funding for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its affiliates and initiate debarment proceedings after a DOJ investigation found suspected misuse in federal grants by CAIR.
“Why should Americans’ taxpayer dollars go to groups like CAIR that facilitate terrorism? On top of legislation I recently introduced designating CAIR as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization and revoking its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, I am asking Secretary Kennedy, Jr. to investigate CAIR for misuse of federal grant dollars and to debar them from future grants if it has engaged in foul play. Groups like CAIR that support Hamas should not be lining their pockets on the backs of hardworking Americans,” said Rep. Roy.
Excerpts from letter:
“We write to urge you to immediately suspend and propose the debarment of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its affiliates, including CAIR-California (CAIR-CA), from participation in United States Federal Government non-procurement programs pursuant to 2 C.F.R. Part 180. CAIR’s longstanding ties to terrorist organizations, including Hamas—a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO)—combined with documented financial mismanagement and misuse of federal grant funds administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), pose a grave risk to national security and render CAIR unfit to receive taxpayer dollars.
CAIR purports to be a civil rights organization dedicated to enhancing understanding of Islam, protecting civil liberties, and empowering American Muslims. Since 2022, HHS has sub-granted more than $15 million to CAIR through the California Department of Social Services for Afghan resettlement programs. However, overwhelming evidence confirms the nonprofit’s deep and enduring connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and its Palestinian branch, Hamas.
…
CAIR’s status as a federal grant recipient not only jeopardizes public funds but also threatens national security by subsidizing an entity aligned with terrorist groups and extremist movements. Immediate suspension is essential to prevent further harm, followed by formal debarment proceedings to bar CAIR from all federal non-procurement programs, including ORR grants.
We respectfully request that HHS conduct a full investigation into CAIR’s grant compliance and terrorist affiliations, and promptly initiate suspension if the organization is found to be in non-compliance. We look forward to working with you to protect American taxpayers and safeguard our national security.”
On April 9, Rep. Roy introduced the Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026 to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization, blocking its assets and prohibiting U.S. persons from interacting with the organization.
Additionally, Rep. Roy introduced No Tax Exemptions for Terror Act, which would eliminate the tax-exempt status for extremist groups with close ties to terrorist organizations, such as CAIR.

Rep. Roy Introduces MAMDANI Act to Denaturalize and Deport Marxists and Islamic Fundamentalists
Position: Rep. Roy introduced legislation to expand immigration enforcement by denaturalizing and deporting individuals affiliated with socialist, communist, Marxist, or Islamic fundamentalist parties or ideologies, and to eliminate chain migration and address what he characterizes as fraudulent claims in current immigration law.
Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) introduced the Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists (MAMDANI) Act of 2026.
The MAMDANI Act enacts sweeping immigration law changes that would deport, denaturalize, deny U.S. citizenship, or entry to any alien who is a member of a socialist party, a communist party, the Chinese Communist Party, or Islamic fundamentalist party, or advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism.
Additionally, this legislation creates new definitions for each of these terms and repeals existing loopholes, including chain migration and fraudulent claims, in current immigration law that have facilitated the mass importation of Marxists and Islamists.
“Why do we continue to import people who hate us? Not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, our immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers’ competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world. This has not just led to higher crime and lower wages, but also the promulgation of hostile ideologies fundamentally opposed to American values.
By targeting the Red-Green Alliance, this legislation deploys new tools to fight back against the Marxist and Islamist advance that has devastated Europe and has now arrived on our doorstep, especially in my home state of Texas,” said Congressman Roy.
"Admission to the United States is a privilege, not a right. We have absolutely no obligation to open our doors to aliens who seek to undermine the Constitution, dismantle our republic, or champion ideologies fundamentally opposed to American liberties. A sovereign nation must prioritize its own survival and the safety of its citizens above all else. IAP is proud to stand with Congressman Roy in this effort,” said Grant Newman, Director of Government Relations, Immigration Accountability Project.

Rep. Roy Introduces Bill to Designate CAIR as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization
Position: Rep. Roy introduced legislation to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization, which would freeze its assets, prohibit U.S. persons from interacting with it, and revoke its tax-exempt status.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced the Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026 to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization, blocking its assets, prohibiting U.S. persons from interacting with the organization, and revoking its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
“CAIR is not some innocent 501(c)(3) organization—they facilitate terrorism while operating under the guise of a nonprofit. This bill makes it clear: their assets must be frozen, their tax-exempt status revoked, and all Americans should be prohibited from supporting them. No organization that aids terrorism should financially benefit from it, especially on U.S. soil,” said Congressman Roy.
"For thirty years, CAIR has exploited America's openness to serve as Hamas's most effective lobbyist on U.S. soil. Congressman Roy's legislation finally treats that threat with the seriousness it deserves — not with symbolic gestures, but with the full weight of federal law. The Middle East Forum is proud to have helped build the evidentiary foundation for this bill, and we will work to see it signed into law,” said Gregg Roman, Executive Director, Middle East Forum.

Rep. Roy Urges Feds to Roll Back Obama-Era Ban on Collecting Immigration Data in Schools
Position: Rep. Roy urges the Department of Education and Department of Justice to rescind Obama-era guidance that restricts states' ability to collect immigration-status data in public schools, arguing that states have the authority to gather such demographic information for resource allocation and administrative purposes.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Chip Roy sent a letter to Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and Education Secretary Linda McMahon urging the two federal agencies to rescind an Obama-era policy that has prevented states from collecting basic immigration-status data in public schools.
Excerpts:
“While framed as civil rights guidance, this policy has had the practical effect of chilling lawful data collection by states and local educational agencies. As a result, states like Texas and various school board associations have avoided collecting basic immigration-status data—even where such information would be critical for resource allocation, program design, and long-term planning.
Importantly, nothing in federal law—including Plyler v. Doe—prohibits states from collecting demographic data, including immigration-status information, for legitimate educational and administrative purposes. While Plyler guarantees access to education, it does not prevent states from understanding the composition of their student populations or gathering data necessary to operate their school systems effectively.
States bear primary responsibility for administering K–12 education and must retain the authority to collect and analyze the data needed to allocate resources, ensure accountability, and serve students effectively. Federal guidance should not be interpreted—or enforced—in a way that undermines that responsibility.
In light of the Administration’s broader efforts to revisit and improve prior guidance that may no longer reflect current law or policy priorities, I respectfully encourage your Departments to review and consider rescinding and updating the 2011 Dear Colleague Letter and its 2014 reaffirmation. Clarifying this issue would help ensure that states can confidently exercise their lawful authority without fear of unintended federal consequences.”

Rep. Roy Introduces Bill to Fully Fund DHS and Advance SAVE America Act
Position: Rep. Roy advocates for legislation that would fully fund the Department of Homeland Security for 60 days while requiring voter ID and proof of citizenship for federal elections through the SAVE America Act. He opposes what he characterizes as Democrat demands that would risk ICE and Border Patrol funding.
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced H.R. 8206, legislation to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for 60 days while advancing his SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and proof of citizenship for federal elections.
The bill is an alternative proposal to the ongoing funding negotiations and aims to ensure uninterrupted funding for all DHS operations, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), while pairing that funding with election integrity measures outlined in his SAVE America Act.
“The House GOP has acted responsibly, passing the SAVE America Act and fully funding DHS four times. We should not concede to Democrat demands, putting ICE and Border Patrol funding at risk through a reconciliation strategy that sets a bad precedent. Instead, we should double down and pass this bill I just filed, which would fully fund our agents and also pass the SAVE America Act—President Trump’s top priority to secure our elections. Following passage of my bill, we should go on offense and move a reconciliation bill quickly that funds all of DHS along with key America First priorities like defense,” said Congressman Roy.

Rep. Roy Demands Answers From Travis County District Attorney on Criminals Running Loose in Austin
Position: Rep. Roy opposes the Travis County District Attorney's prosecutorial approach, arguing that lenient charging and case dismissal policies have failed to protect public safety and calls for stricter enforcement and accountability.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Chip Roy sent a letter to Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza demanding answers on his soft-on-crime approach that has led criminals to run loose in Austin, Texas.
“I am demanding immediate accountability from a district attorney’s office – where many of my constituents live in Travis County - that has failed the people it is supposed to protect. The pattern of leniency, missed deadlines, and dismissed charges has real consequences—and those consequences are measured in lives lost and communities put at risk. Enough is enough. The residents of Austin deserve a justice system that stands with victims, backs law enforcement, and puts dangerous criminals behind bars, not back on our streets,” said Congressman Roy.
Rep. Roy wrote in the letter:
“The police are debilitated and demoralized, victims are discarded and disrespected, and justice is often delayed or denied. The purpose of a prosecutor is to ensure that criminality is punished sufficiently to prevent its repetition, and it should be a primary goal of your office to decrease recidivism, not incentivize it.”

Rep. Roy Introduces Career Criminal Accountability Act
Position: Rep. Roy introduced legislation to strengthen federal sentencing for repeat violent offenders and career criminals through a points-based enhancement system, arguing that enhanced consequences deter crime and prioritize public safety.
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced the Career Criminal Accountability Act, to refocus the federal “three strikes” framework by targeting violent crime, repeat offenders, organized criminal activity, and transnational criminal organizations. The bill proposes a points system to enhance sentences for repeat offenders.
“For too long, soft-on-crime policies have tied the hands of law enforcement and weakened sentencing, allowing career criminals to wreak havoc on our streets and forcing law-abiding Americans to pay the price. The Career Criminal Accountability Act draws a hard line: if you repeatedly commit violent and serious crimes, you will go to prison for a long time. My bill targets the worst repeat offenders, restores consequences that deter crime, and puts public safety first,” said Congressman Roy.
“It is so encouraging to see Rep. Roy taking concrete steps to interrupt the cycle of repeat offending that has plagued far too many American cities for far too long. The proposed Career Criminal Accountability Act reflects a recognition that the federal government has a meaningful role to play in providing for the safety of American citizens. An effort to draw a line in the sand as to repeated criminal offending is long overdue, and I applaud this effort to provide real relief to the law-abiding majority,” said Rafael A. Mangual, Senior Fellow and Head of Research for Policing and Public & Safety, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.
