Honor Their Service Act

This bill would create a Department of Veterans Affairs grant program for public or nonprofit groups that give immigration legal help to veterans who are not U.S. citizens and who are in removal proceedings, at risk of removal, or already removed from the country. Grant money would pay for legal help with deportation defense, naturalization, parole requests, lawful reentry for removed veterans, and requests to upgrade military discharge status when it blocks immigration relief. The VA would have to publish grant criteria within 180 days and report to Congress at least every two years on the program. The bill authorizes $20 million for fiscal years 2027 through 2030.
