Representative Henry Cuellar (Representative from Texas) offered an amendment to redirect $100 million from a $10 billion DHS reconciliation fund to the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General to provide oversight of reconciliation-era DHS spending; he argued reconciliation added hundreds of billions to DHS without OIG resources. Supporters and opponents debated whether the OIG could absorb and deploy a $100M infusion; the amendment failed on a voice vote.
