Feb 12, 2026Senate vote #38 · 2026H.R. 7147

Nay

Limit debate on the fiscal 2026 Homeland Security funding bill

AI-assisted summary

The bill would provide fiscal year 2026 funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including immigration enforcement, border security, transportation security, emergency management, and other department operations. This vote was on limiting debate so the Senate could begin considering the bill, not on passing its funding provisions. The motion received 52 votes in favor, short of the three-fifths majority required, so debate was not limited and the Senate did not begin considering the bill through this vote.

Context: The description of the bill's contents comes from a January 20, 2026, summary of the introduced version; it may not reflect the exact text before the Senate on the vote date.
