Womack Votes to Fund Immigration Enforcement Agencies

WASHINGTON, D.C. — June 9, 2026… Today, Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) voted in support of S.2, the Secure America Act. This package includes $38.5 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and $26 billion for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to fund operations for the next three years. Congressman Womack said, “Our federal immigration enforcement agencies carry out a crucial mission to protect our homeland and uphold the rule of law. To fulfill this work, they must be properly equipped at every level. Funding these agencies through budget reconciliation is not the ideal approach, but it has become the necessary one due to political grandstanding. In the future, I hope Congress can return to implementing the regular appropriations process to fund all critical government functions, especially those vital to our national security.” The bill text is available HERE .
