What Congress Said

Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.

Republicans10 spoke

I want to set the stage for where we are at this moment, what just happened. Republicans voted to move forward on a bipartisan appropriations bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which includes, among other things, ICE funding, TSA funding, FEMA funding, and the Democrats voted no.
Eric SchmittR-MO, Senate, February 12, 2026
So DHS apparently is going to shut down. Hopefully, we can get it back open. What is this all about? Obey the law?
Lindsey GrahamR-SC, Senate, February 12, 2026
I am a Republican. I voted for President Trump. I support the vast majority of what President Trump is doing. But I think we have a trend here that makes us no better than the people that some of my colleagues are coming down to the floor and criticizing.
Thom TillisR-NC, Senate, February 12, 2026

I rise today to pass this legislation by unanimous consent and offer a 2-week continuing resolution so that we can assure the DHS is fully funded while we continue to negotiate.
Katie Boyd BrittR-AL, Senate, February 12, 2026
As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we must not put to chance what John Adams called ``the primary right by which all other rights are protected.'' That is why I support Senator Lee's SAVE America Act. This bill will not fix every issue with our elections, but it does three critical things.
David McCormickR-PA, Senate, February 12, 2026
Now, the question would be: What does this set of individuals have in common? What we know is this: We are all Republicans; we all support President Trump; and each of us had valid questions about the 2020 election.
Marsha BlackburnR-TN, Senate, February 12, 2026
As the newest, most junior Member from the great State-- the free State of Florida, I rise today--as well as the proud granddaughter of a World War II Army veteran--and I rise today to congratulate Mr. Duane Brewton of Cantonment, FL, on the extraordinary occasion of his 109th birthday celebrated on February 5, 2026.
Ashley MoodyR-FL, Senate, February 12, 2026
In order to place the bills on the calendar under provisions of rule XIV, I would object to further proceeding en bloc.
John ThuneR-SD, Senate, February 10, 2026
I understand that there are three bills at the desk, and I ask for the first reading en bloc.
Jim BanksR-IN, Senate, February 9, 2026
The following Senator is necessarily absent: the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. McConnell).
John BarrassoR-WY, Senate, February 12, 2026

Democrats4 spoke

Last month, I came to the floor after the tragic killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and talked about what had happened in my State.
Amy KlobucharD-MN, Senate, February 12, 2026
This bill is built on a myth that is rooted in the Big Lie of election denial that has poisoned our democracy for years, which is that supposed noncitizen voter fraud occurs with any meaningful frequency.
Alex PadillaD-CA, Senate, February 12, 2026
Reserving the right to object, I think our caucus was confused and frustrated by how long it took for our Republican colleagues to come to the table and start discussions.
Christopher MurphyD-CT, Senate, February 12, 2026

Today, Senate Democrats will vote no because we will not support a bill that fails to make any progress on reining in ICE and stopping the violence. Americans are sick of their taxpayer dollars going to masked Federal agents, warrantless searches, and violence--violence--in their communities.
Charles E. SchumerD-NY, Senate, February 12, 2026
