This bill, the "Feeding Families Not Fear Act of 2026," would change parts of Public Law 119-21. It would repeal sections 90003 and 100052, removing the increased appropriations that those sections made available for immigration and customs enforcement (ICE). It also would rescind the unobligated balances of amounts made available under those sections. The bill would repeal Subtitle A of title I of Public Law 119-21 and restore the parts of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 that subtitle had changed, effectively reversing a reduction in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
If this bill becomes law, the specific increases in funding for ICE added by the named sections would be removed, and the SNAP benefit changes made by Subtitle A of title I of Public Law 119-21 would be undone so the prior SNAP rules would apply. People who receive SNAP benefits and agencies that handle immigration enforcement funding are the most directly affected. The text does not give dates, amounts, or details about how quickly changes would happen.
