Chairwoman Foxx, Ranking Member McGovern, members of the Rules Committee, I appreciate the opportunity to testify today. I come before you today on H.R. 7744, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026. The bill before us today is substantively identical to the bill that previously passed the House in January. It represents a bipartisan and bicameral negotiated compromise that provides full funding for the Department of Homeland Security for Fiscal Year 2026. As members will recall, in January, House and Senate negotiators from both parties reached a final agreement on our then-remaining six appropriations bills for 2026. After Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate reached agreement, the House fulfilled its part of the bargain and passed all six bills across the floor.
