Tokuda Votes Against Funding Bill That Includes DHS Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda (HI-02) released the following statement after voting against a Fiscal Year 2026 government funding package, which includes two weeks of stopgap funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS): “I have supported the vast majority of bipartisan funding agreements in this bill, but I cannot, in good conscience, give a blank check to DHS whose leadership has failed in its most basic responsibility to protect Americans. Just weeks after DHS and ICE agents fatally shot Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, Republicans are demanding continued funding for aggressive immigration enforcement while refusing to confront deadly abuses of power. I will not support expanded ICE operations without guaranteed transparency, true accountability, and humane treatment. Until DHS is held to the same standards as every other law enforcement agency in this country, I will not vote to bankroll an operation that terrorizes communities, undermines our Constitution, and puts American lives at risk.” The bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 217–214. ### Print Email Share Tweet Previous Article Next Article About Services Media Contact Privacy Policy Facebook Logo Twitter Logo BlueSky Logo Youtube Logo Instagram Logo
