The Senate roll-call index for the lookback window lists votes from June 9 through June 24, 2026, including nominations, war-powers resolutions, H.R. 6644, and S. 2-related votes; it does not show a new H.R. 7147, Operation Stonegarden, or DHS appropriations vote in that window.

No new concrete Senate vote in the June 9-July 8, 2026 lookback window changed the Operation Stonegarden status; the latest concrete action remains the earlier FY2026 enactment.

Public Law 119-86 appropriates $494,000,000 for the State Homeland Security Grant Program, including $85,500,000 for Operation Stonegarden and $14,250,000 for Tribal Homeland Security Grants for fiscal year 2026.

FY2026 law increased Operation Stonegarden funding above the FY2024/FY2025 level of $81 million and increased the related tribal grant set-aside, a concrete partial delivery of expanded border-security grants.

On March 26, 2026, Cornyn voted Yea on cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 7147, the FY2026 further consolidated appropriations bill; the cloture vote received 53 yeas and 47 nays but was rejected under the three-fifths threshold.

Cornyn took a concrete pro-vote on the FY2026 appropriations vehicle that later became the DHS appropriations law funding Operation Stonegarden, though that procedural vote itself failed.

Public Law 118-47 provided $468,000,000 for the State Homeland Security Grant Program, with $81,000,000 for Operation Stonegarden and $13,500,000 for Tribal Homeland Security Grants in fiscal year 2024.

This establishes the recent baseline: Operation Stonegarden was funded, but at $81 million before the FY2026 increase to $85.5 million.

Cornyn voted Yea on the March 23, 2024 motion to concur in the House amendment to H.R. 2882; the motion was agreed to 74-24 and the bill became Public Law 118-47.

Cornyn supported the FY2024 appropriations package that funded Operation Stonegarden, but that package set funding at $81 million rather than clearly expanding it.

Public Law 119-4 continued FY2025 appropriations at the level and under the authority and conditions of the FY2024 appropriations acts, including the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2024, through September 30, 2025.

For FY2025, Congress largely continued the FY2024 DHS funding structure rather than enacting a new Operation Stonegarden expansion, leaving delivery incomplete until the FY2026 increase.
