Shaheen Offers Amendments to Republican Budget Reconciliation Bill to Require Transparency on ICE Facilities, Address Bureau of Prisons Staffing Shortages

"This partisan bill does anything but provide relief to Americans who are struggling to make ends meet. Instead, Republicans are ramming through tens of billions of dollars for ICE and Border Patrol without a single cent to make health care, energy or food more affordable for families," said Senator Shaheen. "It's clear that Republicans have their priorities backwards so I'm offering amendments to directly address concerns Granite Staters have raised with me, including a provision that would require the Department of Homeland Security to consult with communities before establishing new ICE detention or processing facilities."
