HR 673 would pull Homeland Security Investigations out of ICE and make it a separate agency within the Department of Homeland Security. ICE would be renamed U.S. Immigration Compliance Enforcement. Both agencies would get new Senate-confirmed leaders, and DHS would have to publish updated investigation rules within two years.

Latest action on H.R. 673: Referred to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.
Who this affects: This bill primarily affects federal law enforcement agencies and the people they interact with. It reorganizes how DHS handles criminal investigations versus immigration compliance, which could change how investigations into trafficking, drug crimes, and financial offenses are managed and overseen.
Why this matters: This bill draws a clear line between immigration compliance work and broader criminal investigations like drug trafficking and human trafficking. Supporters say this makes each mission more focused and accountable. Critics worry it adds bureaucracy without changing the actual powers these agencies have. The long-term impact depends on how DHS carries out the transition and whether the new structure actually improves coordination or just reshuffles the org chart.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
