Congress needs to fund FEMA, disaster relief, cybersecurity, and other functions of the Department of Homeland Security that keep Americans safe... I support Ranking Member DeLauro’s new DHS funding bill, which would fund the entire agency except for ICE, Border Patrol, and the Office of the Secretary — while prohibiting Kristi Noem’s use of taxpayer-funded luxury private jets.

McCollum backs a future DHS funding bill that finances FEMA, disaster relief, cybersecurity, and other DHS functions, but excludes ICE and Border Patrol funding and bars luxury private jets.

Evidence

The House narrowly passed a $70 billion immigration-enforcement bill, and Democrats opposed it.

Recent congressional action moved toward full ICE and Border Patrol funding rather than the carveout structure in the pledge. AP reports the bill passed 214-212 over Democratic objections, so there is no lookback-window sign that McCollum newly backed the promised carveout package.

Trump signed the bill into law, funding ICE, Border Patrol, and other DHS costs through 2029.

The latest enactment in the lookback window cemented the opposite policy direction: broad immigration-enforcement funding rather than limiting ICE and CBP. This does not show delivery of McCollum's promised carveout support and instead leaves the pledge unresolved in the window.

Assessments

partial same_term

McCollum appears to have materially aligned with this promise but did not secure the full lasting result. In January and February 2026 she publicly opposed DHS funding approaches that continued ICE-heavy funding without stronger restraints, and by April 30, 2026 Congress passed a bipartisan bill funding most DHS functions such as TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and related operations while excluding ICE and Border Patrol from that measure. That is a meaningful match to the promised carveout approach and occurred during her current House term. But the policy was not durable: on June 9-10, 2026 Congress and President Trump separately enacted major additional funding for ICE and CBP through 2029 over Democratic opposition. Because McCollum supported the carveout direction but the final broader funding outcome moved the other way, this is better scored as partial rather than full delivery.
