To impose a hiring freeze on United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and for other purposes.

H.R. 7392 proposes to impose a hiring freeze on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency responsible for immigration enforcement and deportations. If enacted, the bill would prevent ICE from filling vacant positions or hiring new employees. The legislation was introduced in the House on February 5, 2026, by Representative Lizzie Fletcher (D-TX) and is currently under committee consideration.

A hiring freeze at ICE would affect the agency's operational capacity to conduct immigration enforcement activities, investigations, and detention operations. The practical impact on citizens would depend on how the freeze is implemented and its duration. Some citizens may experience slower processing of immigration cases or enforcement actions, while others might see reduced immigration enforcement activity in their communities. The bill has not yet been voted on by the full House and remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
