    AI analysis

    Rep. Stanton's statement opposes ICE detention practices that exceed humane holding standards and advocates for strict limits on detainee stays in temporary facilities. The Stop Illegal Entry Act increases criminal penalties for illegal entry and reentry, which operates in a different policy domain—criminal sentencing for immigration violations rather than civil detention conditions. Stanton's NO vote on this amendment is consistent with his stated position: he opposes expansive immigration enforcement measures that lack humanitarian safeguards. The bill does not address or modify the 12-hour holding facility standard he champions; instead, it enhances penalties for the underlying conduct that drives ICE detention. Opposition to harsher criminal penalties aligns with concern for detainee welfare and humane conditions.

Ranking Member Stanton Launches Investigation After Reported Diversion of FEMA Resources to Support Immigration Enforcement

Position: Rep. Stanton opposes the reported diversion of FEMA resources and personnel to support ICE immigration enforcement activities, arguing that such reassignments violate the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act and compromise FEMA's ability to respond to natural disasters.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (D-AZ-04), Ranking Member of the Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management Subcommittee that oversees FEMA in Congress, announced a formal investigation into reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) directed Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel and resources to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a critical hurricane season, potentially violating federal law enacted after Hurricane Katrina. In August 2025, FEMA whistleblowers reported that roughly 100 human resources employees were reassigned to support ICE recruitment efforts to meet its goal of hiring 10,000 new agents. The move came just weeks after the July 4 flash floods in Texas that killed 120 people, and while FEMA was already operating with reduced staffing due to widespread departures related to hiring freezes, canceled contracts, and incentivized departures. Whistleblowers reported that employees were threatened with termination if they refused reassignment. They also reported that additional federal employees, including from the Department of Defense, were solicited for ICE assignments routed through FEMA. Following FEMA's failures during Hurricane Katrina, Congress passed the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA), establishing critical safeguards to ensure FEMA can operate independently within DHS and remain focused on its core mission to support Americans during times of crisis. PKEMRA explicitly prohibits the DHS Secretary from taking any resources that reduce the emergency management agency's authorities, responsibilities, or functions. In a series of letters, Stanton is demanding answers from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FEMA Acting Administrator Karen Evans, and ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons by May 8, 2026. Additionally, in a letter directed to the DHS Inspector General, Stanton requests that the agency open an immediate investigation and requests the Government Accountability Office (GAO) assist in transmitting data on the impact of the reassignments to Congress. "I am concerned that DHS's reported use of FEMA personnel to support immigration enforcement activities may violate these statutory protections and compromise FEMA's ability to fulfill its mission," Ranking Member Stanton states in the letter directed to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Stanton's letter also requests detailed information on questions, including: Letter sent to DHS Inspector General HERE. Letter sent to Government Accountability Office HERE.

Stanton Introduces Legislation Establishing Clear 12-Hour Limit for ICE Detainee Stays in Temporary Holding Facilities

Position: Representatives Stanton, Ansari, and Grijalva introduced legislation to restore a 12-hour limit for detainee stays in ICE temporary holding facilities, with limited exceptions for medical emergencies or transportation delays, and to strengthen oversight through documentation, reporting, and audits. The bill responds to observed overcrowding conditions at Mesa Gateway Airport's facility.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (AZ-04) introduced the Short-Term Holding Facilities Standards Restoration Act, alongside U.S. Representatives Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03) and Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07). The bill addresses overcrowding at temporary ICE holding facilities, such as Mesa Gateway Airport's Arizona Removal Operations Coordination Center (AROCC), and restores a clear 12-hour limit for detainee stays in ICE holding facilities. This follows the representatives' unannounced visit to the temporary holding facility at Mesa Gateway Airport on April 9, where they observed significant overcrowding, with rooms holding 40 to 50 people, despite a posted maximum capacity of 21, for much longer than 12 hours on average. Following the unannounced visit, the members sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons demanding answers about conditions for detainees. The bill restores the 12-hour limit, while allowing for limited exceptions in cases such as medical emergencies or transportation delays. In 2025, ICE issued a nationwide waiver allowing individuals to be held for up to 72 hours in these facilities, effectively tripling the permissible detention time. This bill addresses that concern. It also requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to document and justify any extended detention and to ensure humane conditions in holding facilities, thereby strengthening oversight by mandating recordkeeping, annual reporting to Congress, and periodic audits by the DHS Inspector General. "It's clear that massive overcrowding and stays beyond the facility's intended short-term holding period are standard operating procedure under Trump's mass deportation agenda. This legislation brings these facilities back in line with their intended use," said Rep. Stanton. "What I've witnessed at the Mesa Gateway Airport short-term holding facility in Arizona is a display of disgusting cruelty. People are packed together like sardines in inhumane conditions and held far beyond the time these facilities are meant for," said Rep. Ansari. "Our legislation places a 12-hour limit on short-term detention and brings transparency and accountability to these shocking facilities directed by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller." "What we saw at AROCC wasn't just overcrowding — it was a failure of basic humanity. No one should be forced to sleep on concrete floors, or share a toilet in full view of dozens of others, in confined spaces never meant for prolonged detention. This bill restores commonsense limits, strengthens oversight, and makes clear that humane treatment is not optional — it's the law," said Rep. Grijalva. Reports from the Arizona Mirror show that individuals held at the Arizona Removal Operations Coordination Center (AROCC) are staying for longer periods of time and in larger populations. The average length of stay in 2026 is approximately 36 hours, compared to the same time frame in 2025, when detainees were held for about 12 hours on average. Full bill text available HERE.

Stanton-Led Semiconductor Controls Effectiveness Act Passes House Foreign Affairs Committee Unanimously

Position: The release advocates for legislation requiring federal agencies to assess the effectiveness of U.S. semiconductor export controls on China and strengthen oversight to prevent technology diversion, framed as necessary to maintain U.S. competitive and security advantages.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Legislation led by U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (AZ-04) to strengthen oversight of U.S. semiconductor export controls passed the House Foreign Affairs Committee unanimously, today. The Semiconductor Controls Effectiveness Act, which Representative Stanton introduced with Representative Darrell Issa (CA-48), would direct federal agencies to assess the impact and effectiveness of our export controls on advanced semiconductor technology imposed on the People's Republic of China (PRC) to ensure our trade policies are having their intended effect. The window to secure America's semiconductor advantage is narrowing. Left unchecked, China could render U.S. and allied export controls irrelevant. As the United States weighs significant changes to our trade policies for the semiconductor industry, the legislation would ensure Congress conducts a thorough review of existing policies and identifies changes needed to bolster enforcement and close diversion loopholes. The assessment would be conducted in direct consultation with the semiconductor industry. Text of the bill is HERE. Stanton spoke in committee ahead of the final vote. His remarks as prepared are below. Video is HERE. — Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If there is one thing this Committee should agree on, it is that the United States must win the economic and security battle with China. Protecting America's semiconductor advantage is at the center of that battle. U.S. and allied export controls on advanced semiconductor technologies, imposed beginning in 2022, were designed to constrain China's AI and high-end chip development. However, since 2022, Beijing's long-standing drive for semiconductor self-reliance has accelerated, threatening domestic and allied companies and our national security. The Semiconductor Controls Effectiveness Act, which I introduced alongside my Republican colleague Congressman Issa, requires a comprehensive review of the impact and effectiveness of our semiconductor export controls on the PRC. This legislation aims to strengthen export controls on advanced AI chips and improve congressional oversight to prevent the flow of U.S. technology to competitors. We need to understand the impact of our current export control regime on the PRC's military, intelligence, and surveillance capabilities; the PRC's ability to develop, manufacture, and acquire advanced integrated circuits; and the PRC's indigenous semiconductor industry, its revenue, and global market share. We all know the facts: Chinese semiconductor companies are rapidly growing. So, now is the time to conduct a serious assessment of our export control regime to determine whether our current policies are truly effective. No such assessment can be made without the input of the semiconductor industry itself. Global semiconductor companies have long sold their products to the PRC. Whether we agree with this business decision or not, these companies work directly with Chinese partners and understand first-hand the impact Washington's policy decisions have on the PRC's chipmaking advancement. Notably, the bill also requires the assessment to include recommendations from State, Commerce, and the Director of National Intelligence as to how Congress can refine our existing export control regime, bolster enforcement efforts, and close diversion loopholes. Although this committee is taking action to prevent the PRC from bypassing U.S. export controls, it is critical that our national security agencies, in partnership with the semiconductor industry, provide Congress with recommendations as to what policy changes truly work to achieve the desired effect: constraining China's AI and high-end chip development. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for bringing this important bill up for a vote today. The window to secure America's semiconductor advantage is narrowing. Now is the time for Congress to work together in a bipartisan manner to assess our current export control regime. Our economic and national security is at stake. Thank you, and I yield back.

Stanton, Biggs Urge Interior, OMB to Release Colorado River Drought Funds

Position: Representatives Stanton and Biggs urge the Interior Department and OMB to immediately release federal drought mitigation funds for the Colorado River Basin that were appropriated by Congress and are set to expire in fiscal year 2026, arguing the funds are needed to support water conservation efforts and protect communities and industries dependent on the river.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representatives Greg Stanton (AZ-04) and Andy Biggs (AZ-05) sent a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, urging the immediate release of federal funds held by the Bureau of Reclamation for drought mitigation projects across the Colorado River Basin. These funds, set to expire in fiscal year 2026, were secured by Congress nearly four years ago to address the severe drought affecting the Colorado River Basin. A final round of funding has been held back as a bargaining chip for the Bureau of Reclamation in the ongoing Colorado River Compact negotiations. "The Department of Interior has an important duty to responsibly manage the Colorado River system. These funds were set aside by Congress to aid the Basin states through ongoing dry conditions and provide security and safety to the communities, local economies, and critical industries that rely on the Colorado River," the members write, highlighting Arizona's agriculture, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and defense sectors as critical to U.S. national security. "The end of FY2026 is rapidly approaching, and these unexpended funds may never reach the water users who will take all-important steps to reduce their use and add water to the Colorado River system," the members continue. "We ask you to immediately release unexpended drought mitigation funds and allow Arizona and the other Basin states to take all necessary measures to protect one of the West's most precious resources."

Stanton Statement on War Powers Resolution

Position: Representative Stanton opposes the current military action launched without congressional authorization and calls for Congress to reassert its constitutional war powers authority and restrain executive military action.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (AZ-04) issued the following statement: "Donald Trump launched this war of choice without congressional authorization, without clear objectives or an exit strategy, and without the support of the American people. This is why the Founders were explicit: the power to take this nation to war belongs to Congress, not one person. Congressional Republicans continue to allow an erratic narcissist to operate without any meaningful accountability or oversight. Once again they've refused to rein in Trump, and it's having deadly consequences. With the expiration of the ceasefire days away, Congress should be pulling us back from the edge. Today, Republicans chose to push us closer to it."

Stanton, Colleagues Introduce Legislation Establishing Independent Commission on Presidential Capacity

Position: Rep. Stanton supports legislation establishing an independent, nonpartisan commission under the 25th Amendment to evaluate presidential capacity to discharge the powers and duties of office, citing concerns about the current President's age, health, and conduct.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (AZ-04) helped introduce legislation that would stand up an independent, nonpartisan commission under the 25th Amendment to ensure effective and uninterrupted leadership of the United States amid growing concerns about President Trump's capacity to carry out the responsibilities of the office. Section 4 of the 25th Amendment empowers Congress to establish a permanent "body" that, with the concurrence of the Vice President, can declare that the President is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." Although the 25th Amendment was adopted more than 50 years ago, Congress never set up this body called for in Section 4. The bill, led by Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08), would establish the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office. This means the Vice President could act either with a majority of the Cabinet or a majority of this body in the event of a 25th Amendment crisis. "The President's age, health, and increasingly erratic conduct are raising serious questions about his capacity to carry out his duties," Stanton said. "The Constitution explicitly created a process to handle concerns about presidential incapacity. It is a matter of national security for Congress to fulfill its responsibilities under the 25th Amendment." Under the legislation, the Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, and Senate Minority Leader will each select four retired statespersons from the Executive Branch (such as former Presidents, Vice Presidents, Attorneys General and Surgeons General, Secretaries of State, Defense, and Treasury) to serve on the Commission. Additionally, the Democratic and Republican leaders of each chamber will select four physicians and four psychiatrists to serve on the Commission. The 16 appointed members then select a 17th member to act as the Chair of the Commission. In order to avoid conflicts of interest and both civilian and military chain of command issues, none of the members can be current elected officials, federal employees, or members of the active or reserve military. In emergency situations, Congress could pass a concurrent resolution directing the commission to evaluate the President's condition and report its findings. If the commission determines that the President is unable to serve, the Vice President would immediately assume the role of Acting President, consistent with the 25th Amendment. Although Section 4 of the 25th Amendment has not been invoked yet, other provisions of the Amendment have been in the past. For example, when Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush underwent medical procedures, they notified Congress and temporarily delegated presidential authority to their Vice Presidents. An overview of the legislation and background on the 25th Amendment is available HERE.

Stanton, Ansari, Grijalva Demand Answers from ICE, DHS on Mesa Gateway Facility Conditions

Position: The representatives express concern about overcrowded and inhumane conditions at an ICE detention facility in Arizona, stating that detainee housing violates ICE's own detention standards and federal constitutional protections, and demand answers from DHS and ICE leadership.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – After a "shocking" oversight visit to the Arizona Removal Operations Coordination Center at Mesa Gateway Airport, U.S. Representatives Greg Stanton (AZ-04), Yasamin Ansari (AZ-03), and Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons demanding answers about conditions for detainees. "Upon entering the facility, we were shown the concrete cells where individuals are being held for 72 hours or more before their subsequent departure. Detainees were packed together tightly, with no access to beds and sleeping on a concrete floor. We observed rooms labeled for a capacity of 21 individuals holding approximately 40 to 50 people, crammed at densities that prevented individuals from sitting, lying down, or moving freely, forcing many to sleep on concrete floors without bedding," the members wrote. "We are gravely concerned that ICE is using this facility in a manner that is grossly in excess of its intended design and safeguards. These conditions appear inconsistent with ICE's own Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) and raise concerns under federal detention requirements and constitutional protections," they continue. The full letter can be found here. Video from the media availability last night can be found here. U.S. Reps. Stanton and Ansari previously conducted an oversight visit of the facility in February.

Stanton, Ansari, Grijalva Demand DOJ Reject Trump's Unconstitutional Voting Executive Order

Position: The representatives oppose a Trump executive order that would create a national voter eligibility list, arguing it violates the Constitution by usurping state authority over elections and would disenfranchise Arizona voters who rely on mail-in voting.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) was joined by Reps. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) and Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) in sending a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche demanding that the Department of Justice reject Donald Trump's executive order seeking to create a national list of eligible U.S. voters. The members warn the order would disenfranchise the overwhelming majority of Arizonans who vote by mail, and is a direct violation of the Constitution, which grants states, not the president, authority over how elections are conducted. "This is a gross overreach of the federal government," the members write. "The Constitution does not give the president unilateral authority over how voting is conducted." The order would be particularly harmful to Arizona voters. In 2024, 85% of all Arizona ballots were cast early, with the majority submitted by mail. No-excuse early voting has been a cornerstone of Arizona elections since 1991, established by Republicans, and has proven to be popular, reliable, and secure. The delegation also pushed back on the administration's call to create a national voter list, calling it "unprecedented and unnecessary." Rigorous systems already exist in every state to verify citizenship at registration. A Heritage Foundation study found just 23 cases of noncitizen voting in federal elections out of more than 1.2 billion ballots cast over the last two decades. This is the second time the Trump administration has attempted to federalize elections by executive decree. Courts blocked major elements of a similar order last year, including a directive to withhold federal election funds from noncompliant states, a threat the new order repeats. "States run elections and understand the steps that must be taken to protect every eligible voter," the members wrote. "The federal government does not."

Stanton, Colleagues Introduce Energy Bills Relief Act

Position: Rep. Stanton and 120 House Democrats introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act to lower energy costs by expanding renewable energy and modernizing the electric grid. The bill aims to reduce electricity rates, strengthen grid reliability, and build a cleaner energy system.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) and 120 House Democrats this week introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act, legislation aimed at lowering rising energy costs by expanding renewable energy and modernizing the electric grid to meet rising demand. "Arizonans are being squeezed by rising energy costs — and Washington has made it worse. Electricity rates have surged as the Trump Administration cancelled clean energy projects and eliminated the tax credits that were actually keeping bills affordable," Stanton said. "As we head into another scorching Arizona summer, Congress has a responsibility to act. The Energy Bills Relief Act is about putting families first: lowering costs, strengthening reliability, and building a cleaner, more resilient energy system for the long haul." The Energy Bills Relief Act prioritizes consumers and ensures access to low-cost energy for our homes, businesses, and economy by: Text of the Energy Bills Relief Act can be found HERE. This bill is a continuation of Stanton's work to lower costs for Arizona families. Last month, he joined the 115-member New Democrat Coalition to unveil their Affordability Agenda, a policy roadmap focused on reducing the five biggest expenses for working families: health care, housing, energy, family care, and everyday essentials like groceries. The agenda calls for several policies to lower energy costs for Americans, including: Permalink: https://stanton.house.gov/2026/3/stanton-colleagues-introduce-energy-bills-relief-act 207 Cannon HOB Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-9888 1220 S Alma School Rd Ste 209 Mesa, AZ 85210 Phone: (602) 956-2463
