Evidence
Roll Call 70 was the House vote on passage of H.R. 1968, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. The measure passed 217-213. The Clerk records Rep. Olszewski of Maryland voting Nay.
The enacted text appropriated funds for FY2025 government operations and included a DHS title. It set $9,986,542,000 for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support, along with other DHS accounts.
Congress.gov records H.R. 5371 passing the House on September 19, 2025, passing the Senate with amendment on November 10, and becoming Public Law 119-37 on November 12, 2025. The House agreed to the Senate amendment by 222-209, Roll no. 285.
Roll Call 281 was the House vote on passage of H.R. 5371, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026. The bill passed 217-212. The Clerk records Rep. Olszewski of Maryland voting Nay.
Roll Call 285 was the House vote on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5371. The motion passed 222-209. The Clerk records Rep. Olszewski of Maryland voting Nay.
Division A of Public Law 119-37 made continuing appropriations for FY2026. Section 101 continued projects and activities funded under the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025, which included DHS and ICE operations funding.
Assessments
Olszewski fulfilled the promise during his current federal House term by voting Nay on relevant continuing appropriations measures that extended DHS funding without identified immigration-enforcement safeguards. The evidence shows Nay votes on H.R. 1968 in March 2025 and H.R. 5371 in September and November 2025, both during his House term and directly tied to DHS/ICE funding extensions.
