What does this do?

This law sets the federal government's funding for 2026, ending September 30, 2026. It covers day-to-day operations, equipment, construction, and grants for agencies including CBP, TSA, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, CISA, and FEMA. It also sets rules on how the money can be used, such as banning new land border crossing fees, requiring body cameras for some immigration officers, and directing oversight of detention facilities.

Who does it affect?

This law affects the federal agencies that handle border security, airport screening, disaster relief, cybersecurity, and coastal operations. Ordinary Americans are touched by it through airport security, flood insurance, FEMA disaster aid, and homeland security grants to local police, fire departments, and nonprofits.

Why does it matter?

Without this funding, the listed federal agencies could not continue normal operations into 2026. The attached rules change how enforcement and oversight are carried out at borders and detention facilities.

What does it cost, and who pays?

  • Specific funds set per agency
  • Covers operations, equipment, construction
  • Grants go to states, localities, nonprofits
