and that BBB had other funding for DHS outside of their regular appropriations.

But DHS itself and its agencies, DON'T HAVE A FY 2026 APPROPRIATION.

Remember the last shutdown and C.R.? Well when the deadline came for the FY26 appropriations at the end of January, Democrats agreed to fund whoever didn't have an appropriation that was left (other Departments had separate appropriations earlier as standalones or as part of "Minibuses" ) but we were NOT going to give DHS another dime until they fixed ICE.

An agreement was made for a short-term C.R. just for DHS and that has lapsed leaving us where we are today.
