Amodei materially supported the promised DHS anti-DEI/CRT funding prohibition by sponsoring H.R. 4213, whose Section 546 directly barred DHS funds for DEI initiatives and CRT-related activities. However, that bill did not pass, and the enacted FY2026 DHS appropriations law, H.R. 7147/P.L. 119-86, omitted the anti-DEI/CRT funding restriction. This was a serious same-term legislative effort, but the promised funding prohibition was not delivered.
