This resolution is a non-binding statement from the House of Representatives that recognizes the roles of FEMA, CISA, and TSA and expresses concern about large reductions in their career workforce. It does not create law or change agency powers; instead it urges the administration to halt further cuts, provide detailed accounting of workforce reductions, and nominate a permanent FEMA Administrator. The resolution also notes findings by courts about some workforce actions and emphasizes that staffing and retention are important to agency missions. In short, it records the House's views and requests actions from the executive branch but cannot compel those actions by itself.
This House resolution recognizes FEMA, CISA, and TSA as critical Federal missions and expresses concern that large, recent reductions in their career workforce have undermined those missions.
It cites specific staffing and funding cut figures, legal findings of unlawful workforce reductions, and calls on the administration to halt further unauthorized cuts, provide a detailed accounting of reductions since January 20, 2025, and nominate a permanent FEMA Administrator.
House simple resolutions are non‑binding expressions of opinion and do not become law; enactment into statute is not applicable.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions primarily as a congressional expression of concern and a nonbinding request for information and administrative actions. It is clear about the problem and ties that problem to existing statutory and oversight materials. It combines symbolic denunciation with limited reporting-oriented requests.

Liberal emphasizes protecting civil servants and public safety capacity
Likely to view the resolution positively as defending the professional civil service and public safety.
Sees the document as a necessary rebuke of mass workforce cuts and a call for transparency, accountability, and restored capacity.
Likely to see the resolution as a reasonable oversight move that raises important questions about readiness and legality.
Will appreciate calls for transparency and a FEMA nominee but will seek clearer evidence and practical remedies.
Likely skeptical of the resolution’s framing and critical of protecting bureaucracy from reductions.
May nevertheless agree on the need for core security staffing, but oppose blanket halts to workforce reductions without proof of inefficiency.
