House funding bill aims to 'remove the woke' at DHS and restart border wall construction
Fox News
Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., says that the DHS funding bill will cut spending and remove the "woke" from the agency, while focusing on issues like border security.
The appropriations bill for DHS includes a slew of Republican priorities when it comes to the border, including increasing funding for wall construction along the southern border by over $2 billion, and would force the agency to allocate the funding to build it within 120 days. It is expected to move forward next week. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

The Trump-era wall project was scrapped by the Biden administration, although some construction is still ongoing due to language in appropriations bills approved during the Trump administration. Zinke made clear that it remains a top priority for Republicans in this legislation.
