Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3944) making appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 275) to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to publish on a monthly basis the number of special interest aliens encountered attempting to unlawfully enter the United States, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 875) to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed an offense for driving while intoxicated or impaired are inadmissible and deportable; and providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 516) condemning the violent June 2025 riots in Los Angeles, California.
Summary
This resolution serves as a procedural tool known as a rule, which establishes the terms for debating and voting on several other measures. Because it is a House Resolution, it is a non-binding measure that does not have the force of law and does not require the President's signature. Its primary purpose is to organize the legislative schedule and define how much time will be allotted for discussion on the House floor regarding the underlying bills. If adopted, this resolution would allow the House to move forward with considering a major funding bill for military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs for the 2026 fiscal year. It also clears the path for votes on immigration-related policies, including a requirement for monthly reports on certain border encounters and a proposal to make individuals with driving while intoxicated convictions inadmissible or deportable. Finally, it provides for the consideration of a resolution that would formally condemn specific riots reported to have occurred in Los Angeles in June 2025.

On Ordering the Previous Question
The House voted 219-208 to adopt H.Res. 530, a special rule that sets the terms for considering four separate measures: H.R. 3944 (military construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations for fiscal year 2026), H.R. 275 (requiring monthly reporting on special interest aliens encountered at the border), H.R. 875 (making certain immigration violations grounds for deportability), and H.Res. 516 (condemning June 2025 riots in Los Angeles). This procedural vote determined whether the House could debate these bills under the framework proposed by the Rules Committee. Adopting the rule does not constitute a vote on any of the four underlying measures themselves. Instead, it establishes the debate structure, time limits, and amendment procedures that will govern floor consideration. By passing the rule, the House agreed to proceed with debate on these bills under the specified terms. Rejection would have blocked floor action on these measures under this particular framework. The vote was strictly partisan, with all 219 Republicans voting yes and all 208 Democrats voting no. This party-line division is common on procedural rules, particularly when the majority and minority disagree on the bills' substance or the terms for debate. With the rule adopted, the House will now proceed to debate and vote on the four underlying bills.
The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 3944 under a structured rule and H.R. 275, H.R. 875, and H.Res. 516 under a closed rule, with one hour of general debate on each measure. The resolution provides for one motion to recommit on H.R. 3944, H.R. 275, and H.R. 875.
