Liberating the Department of Homeland Security From the Democrat-Caused Shutdown

The order directs federal agencies to have the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to DHS functions to provide DHS employees the compensation and benefits they would have received absent the DHS shutdown, consistent with applicable law. It instructs agencies to, once regular funding is restored, adjust DHS funding accounts as authorized to preserve planned operations and clarifies the memorandum is to be implemented consistent with law and subject to available appropriations.
