Rep. Bice Supports Reconciliation Bill to Fully Fund DHS

Washington, D.C.- Today, the U.S. House passed the Senate's reconciliation bill which would fully fund Customs and Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement through the end of President Trump's Administration. This legislation heads to the White House to be signed into law.

Congresswoman Bice issued the following statement:
"Under the Biden Administration, more than 10 million illegal immigrants crossed our southern border. This included drug smugglers, human traffickers, criminal organizations, and even terrorists on the FBI watchlist. After walking away on a negotiated appropriations package to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, Democrats have repeatedly dug their heels in, playing political games with DHS funding. Today's legislation ensures that those who protect our southern border can not be held hostage again. This legislation was long overdue. Under my friend and fellow Oklahoman, Secretary Mullin, I know the department will continue to ensure our border is closed, ultimately protecting our homeland."

Congresswoman Bice spoke on the floor regarding this legislation and her remarks can be found here.
