Honor Our Commitment Act of 2026

This bill would bar the federal government from detaining or deporting Vietnamese nationals who entered the United States on or before July 12, 1995, have lived here continuously since then, and have a final removal order. The protection would not apply if the Secretary of Homeland Security finds, based on credible facts, that the person directly harmed U.S. security, or if the person is subject to extradition. People covered would receive work authorization. Within 60 days, the Department of Homeland Security would have to notify covered people and explain how to ask to reopen their removal cases, and people harmed by violations could sue in federal court, including as a class action.
