Hinson Statement on Continuing Resolution Vote

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) released the following statement after tonight’s vote on a 60-day continuing resolution for DHS:

"The Washington way of doing things is totally broken – Democrats shutting down our homeland security apparatus for over a month is shameful but it’s on both parties to break this impasse and find a real solution. I have consistently voted to fund DHS, pay our TSA agents, ensure FEMA and the Coast Guard are operational, and ensure we can counter imminent threats against America. We should be voting in DC as long as it takes to get DHS fully funded again and Members on both sides of the aisle should stop playing politics with our homeland security.” — Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
 
These are the agencies within the Department of Homeland Security that haven’t been funded for the past 40+ days: 

• Transportation Security Administration (TSA) – keeping Americans safe in our skies
• Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) – protecting Americans and our critical infrastructure against cyber threats
• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – critical disaster relief for Americans
• United States Coast Guard (USCG) – protecting our waterways and providing maritime security on our seas
• United States Secret Service (USSS) – providing security for national leaders both current and former; investigates bank and cyber fraud
• Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) – investigating crime and dangerous threats to protect the American people
• Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – protecting Americans from dangerous criminal illegal aliens
• Customs and Border Protection (CBP) – enforcing our nation’s laws on the border
• United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) – supporting lawful immigration processes
