18. They can try to blow up the DHS appropriations funding
Fri Jan 9, 2026, 10:50 AM
Friday

A House committee released their version for their chamber - H.R.4213 - Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 but the full House hasn't voted on it.

The Senate hasn't passed any appropriations for DHS out of their Committees yet.

The current "Minibus" that was approved by the House includes DOJ, Commerce, DOI, DOE, EPA and related, but NOT DHS.

All are still operating under that extended C.R.
