The White House announced June 9, 2026, that the Secure America Act seeks to provide sustained funding for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to support President Trump's border security agenda.
Details of Secure America Act
According to a White House release, the legislation is intended to fund immigration enforcement through the end of the Trump administration. Border Czar Tom Homan stated that passing the reconciliation bill would provide $70 billion in funding, which would allow for increased targeting and arrests as well as the ability to pay medical contractors.
DHS Support for New Legislation
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin emphasized the necessity of the act, noting that it is imperative for Congress to pass the legislation so agents have required resources. The White House noted that Senate Democrats voted against the act last week.
