Members of the committee(s) the bill was referred to
Appropriates federal funding for Department of Homeland Security operations and activities in fiscal year 2026.
The problem
Federal agencies need annual funding authorization to operate. DHS requires budget approval to carry out border security, immigration enforcement, disaster response, and other missions.
The proposal
This bill allocates federal money to DHS for the 2026 fiscal year, covering salaries, equipment, operations, and programs across the department's various agencies and functions.
The impact
DHS employees, border communities, disaster response systems, and immigration enforcement operations are affected by funding levels. Taxpayers fund the appropriation through federal revenues.
Provides necessary resources for border security and enforcement activities. Maintains staffing and equipment for agencies like CBP and ICE to perform their missions.
Funds FEMA and emergency management programs that respond to hurricanes, floods, and other disasters. Helps protect communities during natural emergencies.
Provides budgets for TSA airport security, Coast Guard operations, and cybersecurity programs. Keeps critical security infrastructure functioning.
Federal spending on DHS creates jobs and economic activity through contractor work and government employment. Contributes to overall economic circulation.
Appropriations focus on funding levels rather than whether DHS missions and policies are effective or appropriate. May not address substantive policy concerns.
Appropriations add to federal budget deficits and national debt. May require tax revenue or reduce funding for other programs.
Bill introduced without official summary showing exactly how funds are allocated among DHS agencies. Difficult for public to evaluate specific spending priorities.
Large appropriations may include lower-priority or wasteful spending not scrutinized during budget process. Taxpayer money could be spent inefficiently.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
