The Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) amendment #1 to the "Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act" would weaken the underlying bill that establishes a new federal criminal penalty for fleeing Border Patrol. Specifically, the amendment would remove language which had also applied the new penalty to cases of "fleeing from law enforcement actively assisting the Border Patrol". According to the sponsor, the amendment is needed due to the "aggressive policing tactics and unconstitutional racial profiling directed by rogue Governors like Governor Greg Abbott have led to severe harm to-and has undermined-our legal system all in the name of actively assisting the U.S. Border Patrol".

The Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) amendment #1 to the "Consequences for Social Security Fraud Act" would expand the underlying bill to prevent illegal immigrants who have committed fraud concerning COVID-19 grants or funds from entering the U.S. and automatically deports illegal immigrants who have engaged in such fraud within the United States. The sponsor cites statistics from the SBA Inspector General which estimated that more than $200 billion of the roughly $1.2 trillion in pandemic loans were distributed to potentially fraudulent actors.

The "Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) would prohibit the executive branch from using "enforcement slush funds," the practice where funds paid under settlement agreements are sent to third party groups rather than the federal government. According to the sponsor, the "historical record is littered with examples of these settlement funds not directed toward victims or taxpayer relief but rather toward unrelated and often partisan third-party groups". In 2017 the Trump DOJ issued a directive banning department from including payments to third-party groups in settlement agreements - effectively killing “slush?fund” payouts.
