Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act

This bill provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security for the rest of the 2026 fiscal year and ends a partial shutdown of the department that started on February 14, 2026, when its temporary funding ran out. It covers money for many DHS agencies, including Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, FEMA, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, among others. The bill also allows back pay for federal workers who were affected by the shutdown and officially approves certain costs that were made during the shutdown to protect life and property and wind down government operations in an orderly way.
