Introduced on April 29, 2025 by Joaquin Castro
This House resolution asks the President and the Secretary of State to give the House of Representatives copies of all records made on or after January 20, 2025, about any U.S.–El Salvador agreements tied to removing people from the United States to El Salvador and what happens to them afterward, including detentions. It also seeks any information on U.S. funding that supports those detentions, plus legal analyses or justifications for any such agreements. In short, it’s a request for documents to aid congressional oversight; it does not change the law or immigration policy by itself . The measure was introduced by Rep. Castro of Texas on April 29, 2025, and sent to the House Foreign Affairs Committee .
