The contents printed under the heading United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Security Operations under the heading U.S. customs and Border Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amount specified in the final bill column under the subheading Border Security Operations under the heading U.S. customs and Border Protection and under the heading U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Department of Homeland Security act of 2026 table shall be $0.00. $0.00.
