This bill, officially titled the "End FEMA Benefits for Illegal Immigrants Act," aims to terminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Shelter and Services Program. It explicitly prohibits the FEMA Administrator from implementing any program that supports sheltering and related activities provided by non-Federal entities, including facility improvements, intended to relieve overcrowding in U.S. Customs and Border Protection short-term holding facilities. Furthermore, the legislation mandates the rescission of all unobligated balances from specific appropriations previously transferred to FEMA. These funds were originally made available under the "operations and support" headings for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in both the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, effectively cutting off funding for the targeted programs.
