What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "End DED Act," aims to prohibit the use of federal funds for the Deferred Enforced Departure Program. It seeks to stop any federal funds, resources, or fees from being used to implement or administer this program or any successor program. The legislation targets the authority of the President, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of State regarding this matter. Congress asserts that the program lacks a statutory basis in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill intends to reassert Congressional authority over immigration matters.

Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Reassertion of Congressional Authority: The bill seeks to ensure that immigration programs are regulated by Congress rather than through sole executive action (Section 2, Clause 6).
-
Resource Control: By prohibiting the use of federal funds, resources, or fees for the program, the bill limits the implementation of the Deferred Enforced Departure Program or any successor program (Section 3).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
