Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026.

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: This law ends a federal shutdown, guarantees back pay for affected government workers, and funds emergency disaster relief, the Coast Guard, airport security, and local first responder grants through fiscal year 2026. It zeroes out direct appropriations in this bill for immigration enforcement and border security operations and blocks funds from being shifted into those accounts, while allocating $20 million to equip border officers with body-worn cameras. The measure also bans new toll fees for pedestrians and passenger cars at land border crossings, prohibits the use of physical restraints on pregnant women in immigration custody, and lets travelers carry up to a 90-day personal supply of eligible prescription drugs from Canada. Additionally, it funds a 3.8 percent pay raise for air traffic controllers to tackle staffing shortages, subjects members of Congress and agency leaders to standard airport security screenings, and guarantees lawmakers unannounced oversight access to migrant detention centers.

People affected—Not determinable from the text provided. The bill directly impacts the entire DHS workforce, federal employees affected by the funding lapse, air traffic controllers, grant recipients, and border detainees, but does not state a comprehensive population figure.
Fiscal magnitude—Not determinable from the text provided. While the bill specifies billions of dollars across numerous discrete grant and program appropriations (e.g., over $5 billion in FEMA federal assistance, NFIP funds, and specialized appropriations in Titles I–V), it incorporates full departmental funding tables by reference to an external explanatory statement (Sec. 4), appropriates 'such sums as are necessary' for NFIP Treasury borrowing interest, and extends government-wide continuing appropriations under Division B without stating an aggregate fiscal sum.
