Protecting our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act

# Protecting our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act (HR 2118) **What the Bill Does:** This bill would provide protections for foreign nationals (non-U.S. citizens) who are currently in the United States while fleeing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The legislation aims to ensure that these Ukrainian guests have legal status and safety while the war continues, preventing their deportation during the hostilities. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects Ukrainian nationals and other foreign visitors currently in the U.S. who would otherwise face immigration enforcement or deportation proceedings.

It also impacts immigration enforcement agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that would need to adjust their operations accordingly. **Current Status:** HR 2118 was introduced by Representative Brian K. Fitzpatrick (R-PA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No further action has been taken as of the last update.
