Restoring American Sovereignty Act

# Restoring American Sovereignty Act (HR 1088) — Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would redirect paused foreign aid money toward deportation efforts for people who are not U.S. citizens and lack legal status to remain in the country. Specifically, it would allow the President to use foreign aid funds that were frozen under Executive Order 14169 to pay for deporting undocumented immigrants instead of sending that money abroad. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects undocumented immigrants (non-citizens without legal authorization to be in the U.S.) and foreign aid recipient countries that would lose or continue to lose promised assistance.

U.S. taxpayers would also be affected, as it redirects existing government funds rather than allocating new money. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-Tennessee) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't been voted on by the full House yet. No action has been taken beyond its initial introduction.
