Chairman Arrington Statement on House Passage of DHS Funding Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Today, the House of Representatives passed the twelfth and final appropriations bill, funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide resources to TSA, FEMA, CISA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other critical agencies.
House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) released the following statement:
"For 75 days, Democrats have kept DHS shut down. House Democrats had 17 opportunities to stand with the men and women who risk their lives for our ports, our borders, and other critical infrastructure.
"Today, House Republicans acted to end this reckless shutdown and restore critical operations to DHS, while using reconciliation to fund ICE and CBP for the next three years. This will prevent the Democrats from shutting down the government and defunding ICE in the future and provide our agents the resources they need to secure the border, enforce the law, and protect our communities.
"After four years of lawlessness under Democrats and President Biden and 75 days of Democrat dysfunction, Republicans are restoring order and putting the safety and security of this country first."
