H.R. 7975: Feeding Families Not Fear Act of 2026
This bill is known as the Feeding Families Not Fear Act of 2026. Its main objectives are to amend a previous law, specifically Public Law 119–21, by taking two significant actions:
1. Repeal of Increased Appropriations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
The bill seeks to repeal certain sections of Public Law 119–21 that provided increased funding for immigration and customs enforcement. This means that it would rescind any additional money allocated to ICE under those specific sections of the earlier law. The intention behind this repeal is to reduce the financial resources available for immigration enforcement activities.
2. Restoration of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits
The bill also aims to restore benefits to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is governed by the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. Under Public Law 119–21, there were harmful reductions made to the benefits provided by SNAP. This legislation would reverse those reductions, effectively reinstating the previous benefit levels as if the cuts had never taken place. This approach is designed to support families who rely on nutrition assistance to meet their food needs.
Summary of Actions
- Repeals increased appropriations for ICE, reducing fiscal support for immigration enforcement.
- Restores previously available SNAP benefits, assisting families in accessing adequate nutrition.
