Bill > S771

This bill, titled the "End FEMA Benefits for Illegal Immigrants Act," aims to terminate the Shelter and Services Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Specifically, the bill prohibits the FEMA Administrator from carrying out any programs that support sheltering and related activities by non-Federal entities, including facility improvements and construction, which are intended to relieve overcrowding in U.S. Customs and Border Protection's short-term holding facilities. Additionally, the bill rescinds (cancels) unobligated funding balances that were previously transferred to FEMA from two specific appropriations acts: the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. These funds were originally allocated under the "Operations and Support" section for U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Security, Enforcement, and Investigations budget. By terminating these programs and rescinding the associated funds, the bill seeks to stop Federal support for sheltering activities related to border holding facilities.
