A House Republican called out the bipartisan spending deal that would give DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's office a $27 million funding increase.
Rep. Andy Ogles on Thursday pointed out on X the ironic situation that Republicans have put themselves in with plans to send Mayorkas’s office $363 million in the coming year, up from $336 million this past year.
“Feb 2024, Republicans: ‘Let’s impeach Mayorkas!’ March 2024, Republicans: ‘Let’s give Mayorkas’ office an 8% pay increase!'” Ogles wrote in the post.The increase in funding for the DHS secretary’s office means approximately $27 million more funding will be available for use. But the bill does not break down what exactly that $363 million can be spent on other than that it will go toward the “DHS Office of the Secretary and Executive Management,” according to a spokesman for Ogles.A vote on the DHS funding bill, part of a “minibus” of six appropriations bills, is scheduled for Friday. The House will need two-thirds of members to support the deal, making it critical for Democrats to get on board and enough Republicans to back it.
