Amodei Remarks during Floor Consideration of H.R. 7744, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 (As Prepared)
March 5, 2026
Remarks
As the Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee, I rise today in strong support for the Fiscal Year 2026 Homeland Security Appropriations bill. Later today we will vote on this bill for the second time in two months. It shouldn't be necessary. The Committee negotiated a full-year bill on a bicameral and bipartisan basis. Our bill includes reforms like funding for body-worn cameras and de-escalation training, but the Senate Democrats continue to insist on radical proposals which would prevent the enforcement of immigration law. So, it's disappointing that we must cajole our Democratic colleagues to support this bipartisan bill once again, but here we are.
