Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement

The Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement is a specialized panel within the House Committee on the Judiciary that focuses on a narrow but consequential slice of immigration policy. As a subcommittee, it conducts initial hearings and reviews legislation before matters can advance to the full Judiciary Committee, which alone holds the power to report bills to the House floor. The subcommittee's jurisdiction covers immigration and naturalization, border security and drug interdiction, admission of refugees, international treaties and agreements related to immigration, private immigration bills, and non-border immigration enforcement. The subcommittee is chaired by Representative Tom McClintock of California, with Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington serving as Ranking Member representing the Democratic minority. The 23-member panel includes both Republican and Democratic members. Recent activity includes a June 2025 hearing on visa security and integrity, where members examined concerns about fraud in the student visa system and the effectiveness of visa-vetting processes. The subcommittee's work reflects the ongoing congressional focus on immigration enforcement and border security matters.
