"Democrats in Congress said they would not give immigration enforcement agencies another cent without reforms to limit the tactics of their officers. However, this strategy has resulted in none of the policy changes they have demanded."
"Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by circumventing Democrats with budget reconciliation, which included $75 billion in new funding for ICE, making it the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency."
"The infusion of funds for ICE and other DHS agencies has helped insulate them from congressional pressure and oversight, allowing Trump's immigration crackdown to operate at full speed."
Democrats in Congress have refused to provide additional funding to immigration enforcement agencies without reforms, but this strategy has not led to any policy changes. Meanwhile, President Trump's immigration enforcement continues unabated, supported by a $75 billion funding boost for ICE from congressional Republicans. This funding has insulated ICE from oversight and pressure. As Congress reconvenes, Republicans plan to ensure continued funding for ICE and Customs and Border Protection through the end of Trump's term, despite Democratic opposition.
