Representative Lauren Underwood introduces H.R. 10974: DHS Funding Accountability Act

We have received text from H.R. 10974: DHS Funding Accountability Act. This bill was received on 2026-11-10, and currently has 3 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would undo, for any unused money, certain federal funding that was previously provided in Public Law 119-21, also known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act . The bill says those unused balances would be taken back, and the parts of that earlier law that created the funding would be repealed.

What it targets

The bill specifically focuses on appropriations tied to the Department of Homeland Security, especially funding associated with:

• U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

It rescinds the unobligated balance of funds under several listed sections of the earlier law. In simple terms, any money from those sections that has not yet been committed to specific spending would be canceled.

What “rescinded” means here

“Rescinded” means the government would take back the authority to spend the remaining unused funds. This would not necessarily claw back money that has already been spent or legally obligated, but it would remove access to the unspent balances covered by the bill.

Practical effect

If enacted, the bill would reduce or eliminate remaining funding available under the specified sections for ICE and CBP-related purposes. That could affect how much money those agencies have available to carry out activities funded by the earlier law, depending on how much of the money is still unspent at the time the bill takes effect.
