EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) will introduce amendments in this year’s Homeland Security appropriations bill to prevent funding for mask mandate efforts and the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
Nehls said the Department of Homeland Security should be focused on protecting the nation instead of attempting to “advance the Left’s woke agenda.”Amendment 29 takes aim at masking requirements by cutting federal funding for entities that seek to enforce masking mandates after a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations increased concerns that mandates could be put back into effect.
In January 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention required people to wear masks in public transportation hubs, including planes. However, a federal judge voided the national mask mandate for airplanes and other modes of public transportation in April 2022. The CDC recommended people 6 months and older receive the updated COVID-19 booster this week, shortly after the Food and Drug Administration greenlit a new booster targeting subvariants.
The other amendment, Amendment 204, states, “None of the funds made available by this Act may be used for the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of the Department of Homeland Security.” “CRCL has become an anti-ICE component of DHS that seeks to fundamentally transform ICE from immigration enforcement to releasing deportable aliens into American communities and providing them with taxpayer-funded social services,” said Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at the Heritage Foundation. “Congressman Nehls is taking the correct approach — end it entirely.”
