Daines Votes to Fund Military, Homeland Security, and Other Critical Agencies

  • January 30, 2026

U.S. Senator Steve Daines issued the following statement today after voting to fund the military, Department of Homeland Security, and other critical agencies today:

"I voted for the appropriations bill that avoided a government shutdown and funds our military, the Department of Homeland Security, and important agencies like FEMA and TSA. The irony, however, is that critical agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement were funded through the Working Families Tax Cut that we passed last summer so Democrat threats to shut down the government over funding for DHS are nothing more than partisan grandstanding to appease their radical base."

"Over the coming weeks and months, we must not repeat the mistakes made by Joe Biden and Senate Democrats who made our communities unsafe by opening our borders to violent criminal illegal aliens. We must give our brave law enforcement officers the resources they need to keep our nation safe," said Daines.
