S 3708 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to reprogram Federal funds appropriated for UNRWA to construct the southwest border wall and to prohibit future funding for UNRWA.

This bill (S 3708) redirects existing U.S. federal funds that were previously allocated for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to construct a physical barrier along the U.S. southwest border. It also prohibits all future U.S. funding for UNRWA beginning upon the bill's enactment. The key provisions are the immediate reprogramming of unspent UNRWA funds for border wall construction and a permanent ban on new UNRWA funding. This directly affects UNRWA's funding stream and the federal budget allocation for border security infrastructure.
