The Biden administration pushes against the bill because it dramatically limits federal agencies in managing their lands and resources, including in emergency situations. Last month, the draft law, dubbed the Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act, passed the House Natural Resources Committee with bipartisan support. The US House Rules Committee is set to consider the bill on Tuesday.

The Biden administration pushes against the bill because it dramatically limits federal agencies in managing their lands and resources, including in emergency situations.

“The administration strongly opposes HR 5283, which would prohibit the use of federal funds to provide temporary shelter to certain noncitizens, including migrants seeking asylum, on federal lands falling under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, US Fish and Wildlife Service, or the Forest Service,” OMB statement reads.

Last month, the draft law, dubbed the Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act, passed the House Natural Resources Committee with bipartisan support. The US House Rules Committee is set to consider the bill on Tuesday.
