Resources / Immigration Share on Joyce Votes to Fully Fund the Department of Homeland Security Jun 09, 2026 Immigration Press WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) released the following statement after voting in favor of S.2, the Secure America Act. This bill secures funding for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement through September 30, 2029. “For over half of Fiscal Year 2026, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has gone without consistent, stable funding. The men and women who protect our borders and communities have worked without a reliable paycheck, putting our national security at risk. After months of disruptions driven by political posturing, Republicans have taken the final step to fully fund the Department. “With the passage of this second reconciliation bill, the remaining components of DHS – Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection – will finally receive the resources necessary to carry out their public safety responsibilities. These men and women play a critical role in protecting our country, and they deserve the certainty that comes with knowing they can continue supporting their families while keeping Americans safe. “This bill completes a twin-track approach, using both the appropriations and reconciliation processes to restore full funding to DHS. As a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, I am proud to help put an end to this chaos and return our focus to delivering for Northeast Ohio and the nation.” ### Share on
