Grassley Releases Senate Judiciary Title of Reconciliation Bill to Fund Law Enforcement, Safeguard American Communities

BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA - U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), in conjunction with the administration, Senate leadership and colleagues, today released the Senate Judiciary Committee title of Republicans' targeted reconciliation bill to invest in federal law enforcement and border security measures. The legislation allocates funds to the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security (DHS) through Fiscal Year 2029.

"Democrats set the wrong kind of record by shutting down DHS for a historic 76 days, forcing brave law enforcement officers and their families to miss multiple paychecks. Sadly, Democrats' irresponsible DHS shutdown proved they're still the party of open borders and 'defund the police.'

"Republicans won't allow our country to be dragged backwards by Democrats' radical, anti-law enforcement agenda. The Senate Judiciary Committee is taking action to help provide certainty for federal law enforcement and safer streets for American families. We will work to ensure this critical funding gets signed into law without unnecessary delay," Grassley said.
