Sen. Peter Welch led 15 colleagues in calling for new language in the FY27 appropriations bill to tighten control and oversight of the Department of Defense’s use of fast-tracked contract vehicles for domestic immigration enforcement.

Welch publicly pushed the requested FY27 Defense Appropriations language and report language, which is concrete support for the claim, but it is advocacy rather than enacted appropriations text.
