The House Appropriations Committee this morning released a final package of four full-year appropriations bills that, if passed, would complete the chamber’s work on government funding for the year. 

This package covers Fiscal Year 2026 (through September 30) for the Defense, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Transportation and Housing and Urban Development departments.

Notably, the spending package includes funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Many Democrats, especially progressives, have been calling for withholding funding to ICE until reforms are made to the agency. The committee’s top Democrat, Rosa DeLauro, addressed those concerns in a statement.

“I understand that many of my Democratic colleagues may be dissatisfied with any bill that funds ICE,” she said. “I share their frustration with the out-of-control agency. I encourage my colleagues to review the bill and determine what is best for their constituents and communities.”

She added that “bill takes several steps in the right direction, such as cutting ICE enforcement and removal operations and reducing the number of detention beds, but it does not include broader reforms Democrats proposed.” 

The legislation includes “$20,000,000, for the procurement, deployment, and operations of body worn cameras” for ICE agents. There is also a policy that “encourages DHS to develop and implement a standardized uniform policy for domestic law enforcement operations to ensure that law enforcement officers are clearly identifiable as Federal law enforcement.” 

DeLauro said that Republican leaders promised to hold a separate vote on the Homeland Security portion of the package. We will track reaction today from Democrats, including if Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries gives his caucus any direction on how to vote. 

The House is expected to take up this package on the floor later this week. So far, the House has passed eight of the 12 required full year funding bills. Finishing this package would complete the appropriations work for the chamber. The Senate has passed six of 12.
