House · Subcommittee of House Committee on Appropriations
Homeland Security
Composition
10 members
Jurisdiction
Funds the Department of Homeland Security including ICE, CBP, TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and the Secret Service. Sets immigration detention capacity, border-wall funding, and disaster relief.
Why lobbyists care
Private detention contractors (CoreCivic, GEO Group) depend almost entirely on ICE bed-day funding levels set by this subcommittee. Border technology contractors lobby here. Cybersecurity firms targeting CISA-funded work begin here.
Key programs / authorities
- • ICE detention bed-days
- • CBP border surveillance technology
- • TSA passenger screening
- • FEMA disaster relief
Recipients overseen
Federal contractors whose programs are authorized or funded (in whole or part) through this committee's jurisdiction.
