This Bill Continues Warrantless Access to Email and Phone Calls
H.R. 469 Is an Assault on Americans Health, Safety, and Privacy
H.R. 469, the "Sunshine for Regulations and Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act of 2017," would significantly delay the process for ensuring that statutory deadlines established by Congress are enforced to protect Americans from serious harms such as dirty air and water, unsafe products, and reckless behavior by large financial institutions.
H.R. 732 Would Undermine Civil Law Enforcement and Harm the Public
H.R. 732, the "Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2017," is a deeply flawed measure that would undermine the ability of civil law enforcement agencies to provide relief to victims of systemic misconduct. The bill would prohibit settlement agreements that authorize payments to parties not "directly and proximately" harmed by the unlawful conduct of the settling defendant. In doing so, H.R. 732 would prevent civil enforcement agencies from tailoring remedies to address generalized harms to unidentifiable victims, public health and safety, or the environment.
Fact Sheet: H.R. 36, The So-Called "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act"
H.R. 36, the "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," bans abortions beginning at 20 weeks after fertilization. The bill has no health exception and only an extremely narrow exception for cases where a woman's life is endangered by a physical condition. The bill also has woefully inadequate rape and incest exceptions. By banning pre-viability abortions, H.R. 36 is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade.
H.R. 3697 expands the immigration grounds of removal by adding new grounds for "gang members," but the overbreadth would capture many individuals who have no involvement in gang activity whatsoever. A full fact sheet is available here.
H.R. 3003, No Sanctuary for Criminals Act
H.R. 3003 is an anti-immigrant, enforcement-only proposal that represents another step in Trump's Mass Deportation plan.
