Grassley Statement on the Secure America Act

WASHINGTON - Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released the following statement regarding the Senate's consideration of the Secure America Act:

"Today, the Senate is voting on the Secure America Act. This is a bill to fund federal law enforcement officers and border security. There is no funding for the Department of Justice in this bill outside of enforcing immigration. Democrats proposed a measure regarding the Anti-Weaponization Fund that would have blocked the bill's passage by sending the bill back to committee. The Acting Attorney General has already stated the Fund is 'not moving forward.' I voted against the Democrat proposal and in favor of advancing the Secure America Act, so we can keep our nation's families and borders secure."

The Democrat proposal failed to pass, by a vote of 49-50.
