Expressing the support of the House of Representatives for the Department of Homeland Security.

The House would go on record recognizing the importance of fully funding the Department of Homeland Security and expressing concern that the ongoing lapse in appropriations is putting Americans at greater risk. The resolution cites several recent security incidents — including a mass shooting in Austin, an attempted bombing in Manhattan, a vehicle attack on a synagogue in Michigan, and a shooting at Old Dominion University — as evidence of a heightened domestic threat environment. It expresses gratitude to DHS employees working without pay and warns that withholding funding undermines interagency coordination.
