Secure America Act

Summary

Secure America Act This bill provides funding to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through FY2029 for immigration enforcement, border security, and related activities. It is known as a reconciliation bill and includes legislation submitted by certain congressional committees pursuant to provisions in the FY2026 congressional budget resolution (S. Con. Res. 33) that directed the committees to submit legislation to the House or Senate Budget Committee that will increase the deficit. (Reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.) Specifically, the bill provides funding to CBP for  personnel; border security, technology, and screening; and immigration enforcement activities. The bill provides funding to ICE for personnel, Homeland Security Investigations, immigration enforcement activities, transportation, information technology, facility and fleet maintenance and sustainment, 287(g) agreements (i.e., agreements that allow state and local law enforcement agencies to perform certain immigration enforcement functions), the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor,  operation and maintenance, and certain arrests related to immigration enforcement. The bill also provides additional funding to DHS for (1) immigration enforcement, and (2) the participation of state and local agencies in certain homeland security efforts.  The funding provided by this bill generally remains available through FY2029.
