- President Joe Biden has issued a threat to veto the Homeland Security Appropriations Act, a House bill designed to provide funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the upcoming year.
- House Republicans introduced H.R. 4367, which has been named the Homeland Security Appropriations Act, as a means to allocate funds for DHS for the forthcoming fiscal year. However, the Biden administration has made it clear that they do not intend to see this bill enacted into law.
- The White House has stated that there was an initial agreement to maintain nondefense spending at levels roughly equivalent to those of 2023. This was viewed as a compromise to safeguard important programs that are relied upon by the American populace, and it was aimed at preventing severe cuts that had been proposed by House Republicans, as indicated in the Statement of Administration Policy (SAP).
