Passed the House.
The measure carries two divisions. Division A is the DHS budget with dozens of general-provision riders; Division B is a Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act that closes out an appropriations lapse. A single yes also funded items with no homeland-security connection: $30,000,000 for the Supreme Court and $140,000,000 for FAA air traffic controller raises. The title names only DHS; the added Supreme Court and FAA money and the continuing-appropriations division are the coupling points.
Passed the House on March 5, 2026.

The bill funds the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. Division A provides the component budgets, including $17,727,974,000 for Customs and Border Protection operations and support, $10,036,362,000 for Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and support, $10,635,434,000 for the Transportation Security Administration, $11,272,401,000 for the Coast Guard, $3,128,304,000 for the Secret Service, $2,218,634,000 for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and $26,367,000,000 for the FEMA Disaster Relief Fund. It also sets policy: $20,000,000 for body-worn cameras on immigration enforcement officers, a bar on any new border-crossing fee at land ports of entry, a rule that members of Congress and senior officials are not exempt from passenger and baggage screening, limits on restraining pregnant women in DHS custody, and protection for congressional access to detention facilities for oversight. Two provisions reach outside DHS: $30,000,000 more for the Supreme Court and $140,000,000 for a 3.8 percent 2026 pay increase for FAA air traffic controllers that takes effect only if the FAA Administrator finds the operational efficiencies Section 549 requires. Division B ratifies obligations incurred during the appropriations lapse that began on or about February 13, 2026.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 33 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 63 quarterly reports filed by 5 lobbying firms and by 20 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Secure Communication Systems dba Benchmark Secure Technology; Src Inc.; Electra Aero, Inc.; Skyship Services Inc.; Common Cause. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 28 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
