Rep. April McClain Delaney stated that she had long supported a deal restoring funding for TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and other law-abiding DHS agencies, and cited signing a discharge petition led by Rep. Rosa DeLauro. She added that she would not vote for a bill giving another dollar to ICE and CBP.

The Clerk record for Discharge Petition No. 17 shows Rosa L. DeLauro's motion to discharge H.Res.1096 for consideration of H.R.4213, a DHS appropriations bill, and lists April McClain Delaney of Maryland's 6th District as signer No. 26 on March 18, 2026.
Assessments
The promise was framed as supporting a DHS funding deal, not necessarily single-handedly enacting it. During her current House term, McClain Delaney publicly supported restoring funding for TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and other DHS agencies while excluding ICE and CBP funding, and the official House discharge-petition record corroborates that she signed the DeLauro petition to force consideration of that DHS appropriations approach. That is concrete same-term legislative support for the promised deal structure.
