To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish an office to assist communities in providing mental health services to individuals experiencing fear-based trauma related to immigration law enforcement actions taken by Federal agencies, and for other purposes.
House bill to create an HHS office helping communities provide mental health services to those experiencing fear-based trauma from immigration enforcement.
This is a House bill from the 119th Congress. It would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a new office. That office would help communities offer mental health services to people dealing with fear caused by immigration law enforcement actions by federal agencies. As of June 18, 2026, the bill was sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill could affect how mental health services are organized and funded in Houston communities where residents experience stress related to federal immigration enforcement.
