Repeals ICE funding, extends healthcare tax credits.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and co-sponsors.
Introduced in House, awaiting committee review.
This bill, introduced by Representative Seth Moulton (D-MA) and co-sponsors, aims to repeal specific funding increases previously allocated to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under a past law known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." The funds would then be used to extend certain healthcare tax credits. Currently, the bill has been introduced in the House and assigned to multiple committees for review before any potential vote.
Introduced Jan 14, 2026
This bill has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. It has been referred to the Committees on Ways and Means, the Judiciary, and Homeland Security. For it to advance, these committees must review and approve it, potentially with amendments, before it can be voted on by the full House. There are no known dates for committee hearings or votes yet.
If this bill becomes law, federal funds previously designated for specific Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations would instead be used to prolong certain healthcare tax credits. This means individuals who qualify for premium tax credits to help pay for health insurance could find those benefits extended. Additionally, the Treasury Department would be required to publicly report annually on how these funds are used and how many people benefit from the extended tax credits, with oversight from the Inspector General.
Supporters Say
Supporters would argue it prioritizes healthcare access over increased immigration enforcement.
Critics Say
Critics would argue it weakens border security by defunding ICE and creates fiscal instability.
Supporters of the bill likely emphasize that extending healthcare tax credits is crucial for making health insurance more affordable and accessible for many Americans. They may view the previous funding increases for ICE as unnecessary or misdirected, preferring to reallocate those resources to social programs. Opponents, however, would likely argue that repealing ICE funding weakens national security and border control efforts, potentially leading to increased unauthorized immigration. They might also contend that changing funding streams in this manner creates instability for government agencies.
