Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem is spending $200 million of taxpayer money on a pair of top-of-the-line luxury Gulfstream G700 private jets during a government shutdown.
House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) issued the following statement on the Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) new findings that President Trump has illegally impounded Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) funding for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) and the Shelter and Services Program (SSP).
Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, released updated information detailing at least $410 billion in federal funding that President Trump and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought are holding up and denying communities across the country.

Since taking office, President Trump has trampled over our nation's laws and choked off critical investments that families, businesses, and local governments in every zip code in America are counting on. 

The tracker below offers a snapshot-in-time look, as of September 8, 2025, at the vast array of federal funding that should be going out the door, but that President Trump, in an unprecedented scheme, is holding up.

House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03); Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member Grace Meng (D-NY-06); and Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member Lauren Underwood (D-IL-14) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick expressing deep concern that recent freezing, delays, and cancellations of critical resources promised to communities across the country will impact our nation’s ability to prepare for and respond to major natural disasters.
