HOMEFRONT Act of 2026

This bill would bar U.S. federal and state courts from enforcing foreign court judgments or orders made under foreign laws that punish speech, unless the party seeking enforcement shows the conduct would not be protected by the First Amendment in the United States, the foreign court's jurisdiction met U.S. due process standards, and, for online services, the order is consistent with Section 230. It would bar U.S. federal, state, and local officials from helping foreign governments enforce such laws against U.S. persons for protected speech, and would bar extradition for that speech. U.S. persons targeted by such foreign orders could sue in federal court for a declaration, an injunction, attorney's fees, and $25,000 in damages. The Attorney General would report yearly to Congress, and the Federal Trade Commission would keep a database of U.S. speech targeted under foreign laws.
