Both chambers of Congress will return to action today to begin the second week of the April legislative session. In the House, floor activity for the week includes a pair of immigration-related measures pertaining to the Trump administration’s travel ban on individuals from predominantly Muslim countries, as well as access to legal counsel for immigrants (H.R. 1333; H.R. 1573). Additionally, House lawmakers will also take up a bill that would make Washington, D.C. the 51st state, providing equal representation in Congress for its residents.
