Bar the Department of Defense from using funds for new or existing contracts that support domestic immigration enforcement.

Stanton’s first amendment would bar the Department of Defense from using funds to enter into new contracts—or execute existing ones—to support domestic immigration enforcement.

Stanton offered an FY27 NDAA amendment to prevent DoD funds from being used for contracts supporting domestic immigration enforcement.

Section 20011 appropriated $1,000,000,000 to the Secretary of Defense through FY2029 for military personnel support of border operations and temporary detention of migrants on DOD installations.

Congress enacted later-term DOD funding for border and migrant-detention support rather than a bar on DOD funds for domestic immigration enforcement support.

The law separately appropriated $45,000,000,000 for ICE detention capacity and $29,850,000,000 for ICE personnel, transportation, enforcement IT, facility upgrades, fleet modernization, and 287(g) agreements.

The enacted funding package expanded immigration enforcement infrastructure and contractor-relevant operations, showing the commitment was not delivered in law.

H.R. 1 passed the House 218-214 on July 3, 2025; Greg Stanton, Democrat of Arizona, is recorded as voting No.

Stanton opposed a later-term bill that expanded DOD and ICE immigration-enforcement funding, but the bill passed, so the promised bar was not achieved.

AP reported that Trump signed a bill providing about $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and $5 billion for unforeseen costs through the next three years.

Immediately before the lookback window, Congress and the president added major immigration-enforcement funding with no reported DOD-contract bar, reinforcing non-delivery.

The Guardian reported a Defense Department official confirmed a June 1, 2025 memo allowing DOD civilians to support DHS southern-border and internal immigration-enforcement operations for up to 180 days.

DOD personnel support for ICE and CBP immigration operations continued in later federal service, contrary to a delivered prohibition on DOD support for domestic immigration enforcement.

Financial Times reported that more than 1,000 companies received over $22 billion in ICE and CBP contracts during Trump’s renewed immigration crackdown.

Contracting tied to domestic immigration enforcement remained active in 2026; this does not prove DOD contracts specifically, but supports that the broader contractor-backed enforcement system was not barred.
