9/11 Immigrant Worker Freedom Act
To provide individuals who performed rescue, recovery, demolition, debris cleanup, or other related services after the September 11 terrorist attacks an opportunity to adjust their status to that of lawful permanent residents, and for other purposes.
HB5333, also known as the 9/11 Immigrant Worker Freedom Act, aims to offer a pathway to lawful permanent residency for individuals who provided critical services after the September 11 attacks, including rescue, recovery, demolition, and debris cleanup. This bill seeks to recognize their contributions and provide them with a stable legal status in the United States.
The bill would primarily affect immigrant workers who participated in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. If passed, these workers would have the opportunity to adjust their immigration status, becoming lawful permanent residents and gaining legal protection and rights in the U.S.
HB5333 was introduced on September 11, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This is the initial step in the legislative process, where the bill will be reviewed and potentially advanced for further consideration by the full House.
