Provide federal funding to states for border security operations.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Operation Lone Star Reimbursement Act?
The effort to provide federal funding for border security operations is stalled in H.R. 1222, which was referred to a subcommittee on February 10, 2025. The House Committee on the Judiciary must act next to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote. History shows that committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end without reaching the floor.
