Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2025
85/100
What they said
Apr 29, 2026
Congressman Moulton opposes the Republican Reconciliation Resolution, arguing that it allocates $70 billion to ICE and CBP without oversight while simultaneously reducing ACA subsidies and healthcare access, prioritizing immigration enforcement over healthcare affordability for working families.
Moulton's statement explicitly opposes allocating $70 billion to ICE and CBP without oversight, and the DHS Appropriations Act provides funding for both agencies. His NO vote on the bill's passage is consistent with his stated opposition to increased immigration enforcement funding. The statement also criticizes healthcare cuts, which is a separate concern from the bill's primary subject matter but reinforces his overall opposition to the reconciliation package's priorities.
Congressman Moulton voted to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti for three years, arguing that Haitian TPS holders are essential workers and neighbors who deserve stability and that ending TPS would harm the healthcare workforce and economy.
Moulton's statement expresses strong support for extending TPS protections for Haitian immigrants, emphasizing their contributions as essential workers and the economic/healthcare harms of deportation. His NO vote on the POLICE Act—which makes assault convictions a deportable offense for non-citizens—is directionally consistent with a pro-TPS, pro-immigrant-protection stance. The bill creates a new deportation trigger that could affect TPS holders; opposing it aligns with his stated commitment to protecting Haitian TPS recipients from deportation and providing stability. The votes address related but distinct questions (TPS extension vs. deportation grounds), and the procedural context (2023 vote on a different bill) means this is not a direct test of the same legislation, but the underlying policy direction is aligned.

Congressman Moulton opposes the Republican Reconciliation Resolution, arguing that it allocates $70 billion to ICE and CBP without oversight while simultaneously reducing ACA subsidies and healthcare access, prioritizing immigration enforcement over healthcare affordability for working families.
Moulton's statement opposes a reconciliation resolution that allocates $70 billion to ICE/CBP and reduces ACA subsidies. The bill voted on is a continuing resolution with immigration law changes and funding reductions, not the specific reconciliation package described in the statement. While both involve immigration enforcement funding and potential healthcare/budget impacts, the statement targets a distinct reconciliation bill whereas the vote was on a continuing resolution. The directional alignment (opposing immigration enforcement prioritization over healthcare) is consistent, but the specific legislative vehicle differs, creating moderate uncertainty about whether the vote directly reflects the stated position.

Congressman Moulton opposes the Republican Reconciliation Resolution, arguing that it allocates $70 billion to ICE and CBP without oversight while simultaneously reducing ACA subsidies and healthcare access, prioritizing immigration enforcement over healthcare affordability for working families.
Moulton's statement opposes a reconciliation resolution that allocates $70 billion to ICE and CBP without oversight, and he voted no on this DHS appropriations bill. The statement and vote are directionally aligned on immigration enforcement funding. However, the DHS appropriations bill is a broad omnibus measure funding multiple agencies and functions (TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, cybersecurity, etc.), not solely a reconciliation package focused on ICE/CBP. The statement's specific critique of the reconciliation mechanism and its bundling with ACA subsidy cuts cannot be fully evaluated against a standard appropriations bill, creating some granularity mismatch between the narrow reconciliation critique and the broader DHS funding measure.

Moulton Applauds Restoration of 988 “Press 3” Option for LGBTQIA+ Youth After Months of Pressure on Trump Administration
Position: The release supports restoring the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQIA+ Youth Specialized Services ('Press 3' option), which was shut down in July 2025, and calls on HHS to keep it funded as directed by FY2026 appropriations.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the months of pressure on the Trump Administration, led by Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06), the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline resumed its LGBTQIA+ Youth Specialized Services, known as the “Press 3” option, this week.
“Restoring the Press 3 option is long overdue, but I’m glad to see the Trump Administration finally heed our calls to bring back this critical affirming care for LGBTQIA+ youth,” said Congressman Moulton. “Congress provided the funding and the direction to keep this lifeline open long ago, and it’s disappointing that there was any lapse in service for the Press 3 option. I’ll keep working alongside my colleagues to make sure Press 3 is available to every young person who needs it.”
The Press 3 option launched nationally in 2022 and handled roughly 1.6 million contacts before the Trump Administration shut it down in July 2025. Congressman Moulton and a bipartisan group of colleagues sent a letter in February 2026 to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Department of Health and Human Services demanding the immediate restoration of the Press 3 option.
On July 15, 2026, Congressman Moulton and several other colleagues held a press conference on Capitol Hill to renew the call for the Press 3 option to be restored. This followed the inclusion of $33.1 million in the FY2026 Appropriations law, along with a funding directive, requiring HHS to fund the line.
LGBTQIA+ youth face higher rates of serious depression and suicidal thoughts than their peers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Congressman Moulton has emphasized that specialized crisis services like the Press 3 option are a proven way to reach young people at their most vulnerable moments.

Expanding Mental Healthcare
Position: The release states the representative voted Yes on the Lindsay O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act to support Ukraine, acknowledges the bill is imperfect, and argues that concerns about presidential tariff authority do not outweigh the bill's potential to pressure Russia.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) released the following statement regarding his decision to vote Yes on the Lindsay O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act.
“I voted Yes on yesterday’s Russia sanctions bill because Ukraine deserves every chance that we can give them to win this war.
“For almost two years, Congress has failed to move meaningful legislation to support Ukraine. The Trump administration has undermined Ukraine’s battlefield position by periodically suspending intelligence sharing and stopping weapons transfers, and has undermined their economic position by letting the sanctions on Russia lapse.
“Yesterday’s bill was Congress’s chance to change that, to ensure we are doing all we can to end this war and protect Ukraine and its independence. It is not the bill Democrats would have written, but I was not willing to let the chance to help Ukraine pass us by.
“It’s telling who supports this bill. President Zelensky supports it, while Vladimir Putin is opposed. All our European allies support it, as do the vast majority of U.S. defense and intelligence officials stationed in Europe, as reported by a trusted colleague on the House Armed Services Committee who traveled there just days before this vote. The legislation is not perfect, but we can’t lose the forest for the trees. I’m proud to stand with Ukraine and our allies, and not with Putin.
“I recognize the specific concern that President Trump could abuse his tariff authorities, but that risk is present with or without this bill. The legislation is limited and unambiguous in its intent to maximize economic pressure on Russia, and only targets the worst violators of U.S. sanctions. Any attempt to abuse this authority for different purposes would be a clear violation of the law. When this administration has overreached on tariffs before, the courts have stepped in to check that power, and I expect they’ll do the same here if needed.
“There is no guarantee that the President uses the tools this legislation offers him, but I’d rather leave the door open for those tools to be used against Russia than close it entirely and guarantee they never are.
“If Congress does not try to do the right thing, we cede the field entirely to a President who has shown little interest in supporting Ukraine in this war. We owe it to Ukraine, the world, and our democracy to try, and to hold the President accountable if he decides to violate the law again.”

House Passes Moulton’s War Powers Resolution to Reclaim Congressional Authority to Declare War
Position: The release supports a War Powers Resolution asserting congressional authority over the use of military force against Iran, arguing the conflict was never authorized by Congress and should end.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives tonight passed Congressman Seth Moulton's (MA-06) War Powers Resolution, voting 220-204 to reclaim Congress’s authority to end Donald Trump’s war with Iran. The resolution was cosponsored by 14 House Democrats, including 13 Democratic veterans, reflecting deep concern within the ranks of those who have served about a war that Congress never authorized.
The resolution's passage comes six months after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth declared a "capital V military victory" in Iran, a claim undercut by continued American casualties, an Iran-controlled Strait of Hormuz, rising gas prices, and a nuclear program that remains intact. Eighteen U.S. servicemembers have been killed and American military installations have come under direct attack since the conflict began, at a cost exceeding $38 billion according to an estimate today by the Congressional Budget Office.
"By the Trump Administration's own metrics, Iran is winning and America is losing,” said Congressman Moulton. “Tonight, Congress did its job under the Constitution and said enough is enough. People at home are hurting because of skyrocketing costs, and our troops’ lives are in danger in a war that never should have happened. We will keep the pressure up until Trump folds."
The other 14 House Democrats cosponsoring the resolution are: Reps. Jake Auchincloss (MA-4), Salud Carbajal (CA-24), Jason Crow (CO-6), Jared Golden (ME-2), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Ted Lieu (CA-36), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), Mike Quigley (IL-5), Pat Ryan (NY-18), Bobby Scott (VA-3), Mike Thompson (CA-4), Derek Tran (CA-45), and Eugene Vindman (VA-7).

Moulton Delivers Opening Remarks at Select Committee on China Hearing on Human Rights in China Ahead of Xi’s Visit to Washington
Position: Congressman Moulton argues that U.S. policy toward China should prioritize human rights and deterrence, criticizes the administration's cancellation of civil society and pro-democracy grant programs, and opposes the gutting of the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) delivered opening remarks at the House Select Committee on China hearing examining human rights in the People’s Republic of China ahead of President Trump’s upcoming summit with Xi Jinping in Washington. The hearing focused on U.S. policy responses to the Chinese government's oppression of Uyghur and Tibetan populations, crackdown on Hong Kong, and broader civil rights restrictions.
Congressman Moulton’s opening remarks as delivered are below:
“Serving on the Select Committee on China – the full name of the committee is the Select Committee on Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.
“The verb there is competition. And the competition between the United States and China is not just for economic dominance or military dominance; it's for leadership, and it comes down to not just which country is stronger, but which country has the values that the rest of the world wants to follow.
“That's really what's at stake: who will lead the world, not just from power, but values.
“China under Xi Jinping has spent the past decade and a half systematically eroding the rights of everyone living in China. For most of that time, the United States has pushed back in a strongly bipartisan manner.
“We engaged on the genocide of Uyghurs in one of the most effective pieces of legislating the U.S. Congress has ever done on a human rights issue with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.
“And then under this presidency, we stopped trying. This administration has canceled dozens of grant programs supporting civil society, pro-democracy programming, and independent journalism that were actively undermining the CCP's efforts to suppress independent thought in China.
“This administration is uniquely good at shooting themselves in the foot. But the decision to gut the U.S. Agency for Global Media was, even for them, a historically tragic decision.
“This is an institution that, for a very small amount of money, dramatically shaped the world's information environment in ways that align with both U.S. values and the truth.
“My colleagues on the Select Committee have often heard me harp on the fact that while ‘competition’ is the verb and the title, the first order of business in our relationship with China today is deterrence. It's to prevent a war, a war that Xi Jinping has made very clear he is ready and willing to start.
“We think about deterrence usually in just military terms, but if you ask the Pentagon about deterrence, they'll tell you that there are four elements: there's military, economic, diplomatic, and information.
“We understand the importance of military power. We understand the importance of economic power. But in that information realm, we have to tell our story. We can't cut off the very organisms of our government that are designed to do that and tell a better story, not just to the world but to the people in China today.
“And on diplomacy, that brings us back to where I began: the question of moral leadership. Who will be the next great superpower leader of the world? The question, not just of power, but of values. This administration seems to throw those values out the window. It's critical we get them back. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

Issues:
Strengthening our National Security
Position: The release criticizes conditions at the ICE facility in Burlington, calls for ICE to improve detainee access to families and lawyers, urges the VA to restore dedicated LGBTQIA+ veteran care infrastructure, and reintroduces the Building Safer Streets Act to update federal road design standards.
Dear Friend,
As August wraps up, I wanted to share a few things my team and I have been working on both in Washington and back home in Massachusetts.
A lot of this work comes back to one thing: making Massachusetts more affordable. That means lowering costs, shortening time spent on commutes, and making it easier for people to build a life here.
Holding ICE accountable
Back home, I made my third unannounced oversight visit to the ICE facility in Burlington. Unfortunately, the basic problems still remain.
I was kept waiting for more than 30 minutes before being allowed inside, while my team watched several vans leave the property. What I saw once I was allowed inside the facility reinforced what I’ve said since my first visit in 2019: this is no place for human habitation.
Enforcing our immigration laws should never come at the cost of due process and basic human dignity. People in government custody need access to their families and lawyers, and I’ll keep pressing ICE until they finally improve the poor conditions at Burlington.
Standing up for veterans
Congresswoman Houlahan and I sent a letter to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins demanding that the VA restore dedicated LGBTQIA+ veteran care infrastructure. An estimated one million LGBTQIA+ Americans have served or are serving in our military, many during periods when they faced discrimination simply for who they are. Stripping away these dedicated roles and support networks creates confusion, fosters fear of discrimination, and risks driving vulnerable veterans away from critical medical and mental health services.
They kept their promise to our country. We need to keep ours to them. And that’s why we are taking action.
That same commitment to our veterans brought me back to Home Base in Charlestown, where I toured their National Center of Excellence and saw firsthand the innovative mental health care they provide to veterans, service members, and military families. Home Base is doing extraordinary work filling gaps in care, from treating PTSD to supporting military families, often when the traditional system falls short. I’m proud to work alongside them as we push for better mental health care and make sure every veteran can get the support they’ve earned.
Making our streets safer
I reintroduced my Building Safer Streets Act to update the outdated federal standards that help determine how our roads are designed. For too long, we’ve built streets around moving cars quickly instead of getting everyone home safely.
This legislation was inspired by Sidney Mae Olson, a five-year-old from Andover who was killed by a tractor-trailer in 2023 while crossing with the walk signal. Sidney’s parents have turned an unimaginable loss into a campaign to make our streets safer for other families, and I’m proud to work alongside them in this effort..
More than 100 Americans die in traffic crashes every day. We can and should design our streets to be safer and smarter, and this legislation will help accomplish that.
No one should be able to profit from classified information
This month I also introduced bipartisan legislation, No Insider Trading on National Security Act of 2026 with Representatives George Whitesides and Don Bacon to investigate potential insider trading tied to national security information.
Prediction markets have created a troubling new opportunity for people with sensitive information inside our government to make money betting on military operations. Our bill directs the Defense Department Inspector General to investigate trading surrounding Operation Epic Fury and recommend safeguards to prevent abuse in the future.
It’s time to build the North South Rail Link
Finally, we got some exciting news about a project I’ve been fighting for for years.
A new Harvard Kennedy School analysis found that a fully-built North South Rail Link could generate an estimated $38 billion in benefits for Massachusetts. The idea is pretty simple: connect North Station and South Station so our commuter rail system finally functions as one network.
The study found the project would lead to faster commutes, dramatically shorter waits for trains, access to tens of thousands more jobs, and new housing opportunities.
For decades, people have treated the North South Rail Link as a nice idea for some distant future. We now have strong evidence that it’s an economic investment Massachusetts needs today.
Celebrating Seniors
My team was honored to join the Beverly Council on Aging and the City of Beverly for this year’s Senior Day in the Park. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with seniors and celebrate this year’s Senior of the Year, Ms. Gail Dionne.
My team celebrated this year’s Salem Senior Day with the City of Salem’s Council on Aging! We were proud to recognize Martha Bagby, Luisa Espinal, and Elwena Tungol for their important contributions in our community. Salem is stronger for their kindness and generosity, and we were grateful for the opportunity to honor them.
There’s more work ahead here though. Massachusetts is still too expensive, and too many families are feeling squeezed financially. I’ll keep fighting for practical solutions that lower costs and make life a little easier for everyone.
Thank you, as always, for the privilege of representing you.
Moulton Visits Home Base National Center of Excellence to Highlight Veterans’ Mental Healthcare Innovation
Position: The release states that federal funding cuts and VA staffing shortages are placing pressure on non-profit veterans' mental healthcare providers, and that supporting such providers is essential to meeting obligations to veterans.
CHARLESTOWN, MA—Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) visited the Home Base National Center of Excellence to tour its state-of-the-art facilities, meet with leadership, and discuss how federal policy directly impacts mental healthcare for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.
Guided by retired Brig. Gen. Jack Hammond, Executive Director of Home Base, Congressman Moulton toured Home Base’s outpatient clinic, clinical research labs, and specialized care facilities. The visit focused on addressing the growing pressure on non-profit healthcare providers amid federal funding cuts imposed by the Trump Administration, ongoing staffing shortages at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the urgent need to expand high-impact, innovative treatments for trauma.
"Home Base is filling critical gaps in veteran care by eliminating barriers that too often prevent service members from getting help," said Congressman Seth Moulton. "Whether it's pioneering breakthrough psychedelic research for treatment-resistant PTSD, supporting military families, or delivering care regardless of discharge status, their work sets a national standard. As we face staffing challenges and service reductions across the VA, supporting non-profit leaders like Home Base is essential to keeping our promise to those who served."
Home Base is a partnership between Mass General Brigham, the Red Sox Foundation, and the Wounded Warrior Project’s Warrior Care Network that provides clinical care, intensive treatment programs, and family support services at zero out-of-pocket cost to patients.

Moulton, Houlahan Demand VA Restore LGBTQIA+ Veteran Healthcare Infrastructure
Position: Representatives Moulton and Houlahan urge the Department of Veterans Affairs to reverse directives eliminating LGBTQIA+ Veteran Care Coordinator positions and restricting specialized support programs, and to restore dedicated LGBTQ+ veteran care resources.
WASHINGTON, DC —Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) and Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06) led a letter to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug A. Collins demanding the immediate reversal of recent Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) directives that remove dedicated LGBTQIA+ care infrastructure.
The lawmakers expressed grave concern over recent administrative decisions to eliminate LGBTQIA+ Veteran Care Coordinators, dismantle specialized support networks, and restrict tailored healthcare resources, dismantling systems designed to provide inclusive medical and mental health services to those who served.
“An estimated one million LGBTQ+ individuals have served or are currently serving in our nation’s military,” the lawmakers wrote. “Many of these veterans served in silence during eras of overt discrimination, including under ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ and historically faced significant barriers and stigma when seeking care after their service... Stripping away these dedicated roles and support networks creates confusion, fosters fear of discrimination, and risks driving vulnerable veterans away from critical medical and mental health services.”
The lawmakers requested the VA take the following immediate actions:
Re-establish dedicated LGBTQ+ Veteran Care Coordinator positions across all VA Health Care Systems with clear guidance to maintain specialized support services.
Rescind directives that prohibit or restrict internal and external support groups, staff training, and specialized care programs for LGBTQ+ veterans.
Provide a detailed response outlining the specific steps that will be taken to ensure there veterans have access to the LGBTQ+ veteran support networks.

Moulton, Crow, and Democratic Veterans Introduce War Powers Resolution to End Trump’s War of Choice in Iran
Position: The release advocates for passage of a War Powers Resolution to end military operations in Iran, arguing that the conflict lacks congressional authorization, has resulted in American casualties, and diverts resources from domestic priorities.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) and Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06) introduced a War Powers Resolution designed to end the failing war in Iran and ensure the current administration remains answerable to the American people and their representatives in Congress.
This resolution – cosponsored by Representatives Pat Ryan (NY-18), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06), Eugene Vindman (VA-07), Maggie Goodlander (NH-02), Jake Auchincloss (MA-04), and Bobby Scott (VA–03) carries the collective weight of nine Democratic veterans, lawmakers who understand the true cost of military engagement. The coalition will force Republicans to go on the record repeatedly on this failing war of choice for as long as it continues.
“As veterans, we know firsthand the cost of war,” said Congressman Seth Moulton. “We also know that military force is not always the answer. Brute force will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. We have already lost 13 Americans in this conflict, and we cannot continue to send our troops into harm’s way without a strategy. We are introducing this resolution because the American people deserve a say in how their military is used, and it is clear that this reckless war of choice must end.”
“Congress must end President Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran. His war has cost the lives of U.S. servicemembers, raised prices for Americans at home, damaged our alliances, and made us less safe,” said Congressman Crow. “The President is spending tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on Middle East conflicts as Americans back home can’t afford gas and are losing their health care. Congress must end this conflict now.”

Moulton Votes ‘No’ on Farm Bill, inadequate Support for SNAP benefits, Harming Massachusetts
Position: Congressman Moulton opposes the Farm Bill because it fails to restore SNAP benefits that were cut in the previous year, which he argues harms hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents including children and seniors.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) issued the following statement today regarding his vote against the Farm Bill:
“I voted No on the Farm Bill. At a time when nearly one in five families in our state are struggling to afford food, this Farm Bill does nothing to address the deep cuts to SNAP enacted last year—the largest reduction to the program in its history.
“SNAP helps prevent hunger for hundreds of thousands of people in Massachusetts, including more than 300,000 children and over 200,000 older adults. Recent changes could put as many as 99,000 Massachusetts residents at risk of losing their benefits.
“I will continue to vote No on any Farm Bill that fails to restore SNAP and address the needs of our family farmers and working American’s.”

Moulton Confronts Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Over "Incompetence" and Potential War Crimes in Iran
Position: Congressman Moulton opposes the current military strategy in the Iran conflict, arguing that Secretary Hegseth's leadership has resulted in strategic failure and advocating for an end to the war. He also opposes proposed defense spending increases and cuts to social programs including SNAP and healthcare subsidies.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, during a House Armed Services Committee (HASC) hearing Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) confronted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth during his first testimony since the onset of this 60 day war with Iran.
Moulton released his exchange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00ZTVA7SaT4
During the hearing, Moulton pressed Hegseth on the strategic failures of the current administration, the financial toll on American taxpayers, and disturbing public statements made by the Secretary that appear to advocate for war crimes.
Congressman Moulton made the following statement on Hegseth’s performance:
“As things stand today, we are losing this war because of Secretary Hegseth’s pure incompetence,” said Congressman Moulton. “This isn't leadership; it’s an unserious circus. Between his 'No Quarter' orders, which are a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, firing our most experienced generals, and proposing a $1.5 trillion budget what saddles the average taxpayer with a $600 bill while this administration guts SNAP benefits and healthcare subsidies, Hegseth has proven he is fundamentally unfit for this position. Instead of these dangerous distractions, he should focus on ending the war he is losing.”
