Claim 4: “The US Coast Guard, Secret Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Transportation Security Administration will all get full funding once President Trump signs the measure.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While multiple sources mention that the Coast Guard, FEMA, and TSA were included in the funding bill (e.g., 'Mar 28, 2026 · Senators worked through the night to approve a bill by voice vote that would fund much of Homeland Security, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard and TSA.'), the claim that *all* these agencies will receive full funding *once President Trump signs* is not independently corroborated by multiple sources or official confirmation of the final signing action. The evidence suggests they were included in the bill passed by the Senate.
