Appropriations Full Committee

Senate Republicans last night unveiled their spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security which includes more than $70 billion for the lawless Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom. House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) issued the following statement:

Today, after shutting down the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for 76 days and refusing to fund any agency under DHS without additional funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol, House Republican leadership finally abandoned their senseless opposition to this common-sense solution and allowed a vote in the House on the unanimous Senate-passed bill, which closely mirrors legislation Ranking Member DeLauro introduced in February. The bill passed overwhelmingly.

Today, House Appropriations Committee Republicans advanced their 2027 Legislative Branch funding bill out of subcommittee. The legislation weakens government oversight and aids and abets President Trump in continuing to steal money promised to the middle class, working class, and vulnerable Americans.
