Bill Analysis
H.R. 7744 – Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 – provides full-year FY2026 discretionary funding and related authorities for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components. It is a regular appropriations bill, not an authorization bill, but it conditions how existing statutory authorities may be used.
The bill funds major DHS components, typically including (but not limited to): U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Secret Service, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS, via appropriations for adjudication support and E-Verify), the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management, Office of Inspector General, and departmental-wide management and operations.
Appropriations are generally divided into accounts such as operations and support, procurement/construction/improvements, research and development, and grants. FEMA funding typically covers the Disaster Relief Fund, homeland security grants to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, firefighter assistance grants, emergency management performance grants, and related preparedness and mitigation programs. CISA funding supports federal civilian cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, and cyber incident response. CBP and ICE appropriations support border security, immigration enforcement, detention, and removal operations, as well as technology and infrastructure at ports of entry and along the border.
Beneficiaries include DHS personnel and contractors; state, local, tribal, and territorial governments receiving homeland security and emergency management grants; transportation operators subject to TSA oversight; critical infrastructure owners and operators supported by CISA; and communities affected by disaster assistance and border/immigration operations. Regulated entities include transportation carriers, certain private-sector critical infrastructure sectors, and immigration violators subject to enforcement.
The bill covers the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026. The latest action authorizes the House Clerk to make technical and conforming corrections to the engrossed text, indicating the measure has passed the House in some form and is being prepared for transmission, typically to the Senate, but has not yet been enacted. Specific dollar amounts, policy riders, and detailed conditions would be set out in the bill text and accompanying report.
