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.
