Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2025 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects DHS agencies, migrants, people in immigration custody, border communities, disaster programs, and state and local governments. It would shape how DHS handles border crossings, detention, disaster aid, cybersecurity support, airport screening, and grants. It would also affect people who rely on FEMA aid, firefighter grants, nonprofit security grants, and immigration-related services.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would decide how DHS spends money on border enforcement, disaster aid, airport security, cybersecurity, and immigration custody in 2025. It would not just fund those programs. It would also force or block specific policy choices, especially on immigration, border barriers, detention, climate work, equity programs, and health care in custody.

Key provisions in H.R. 8752

CBP would get about $16.6 billion for operations and support. The money covers unaccompanied minor transport, air and marine work, up to 7,500 police-style vehicles, and some road repairs on Native American reservations.
CBP would get $1.39 billion for buying, building, and improvements. Of that, $600 million must go to new steel bollard border barriers that are effectively 18 to 30 feet high, in places named in the 2020 Border Security Improvement Plan.
DHS would have to start committing border barrier money within 120 days after the bill becomes law. It could not use any appropriated money to take down existing U.S.-Mexico barriers unless it is repairing or replacing them.
ICE would get about $10.5 billion for operations and support. At least $5.9 billion must go to enforcement, detention, and removal, and ICE must keep at least 50,000 immigration detention beds.
DHS would have to keep funded detention centers as full as possible. Every non-detained person on ICE's docket would have to join Alternatives to Detention and wear GPS monitoring through all proceedings.
