Watson Coleman to Vote Against Restarting Funding for ICE
Today, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) will vote against HR.7744, legislation meant to fund DHS, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
"I have been very clear, I will not fund the illegal actions taken by ICE and CBP," said Watson Coleman. "This bill is the same failed legislation put forth in January, despite the lawlessness we've seen since then, including the killing of Alex Pretti. Attempts at even modest reforms have been blocked by the White House.
"I've cosponsored Congresswoman DeLauro's Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which would fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Secret Service, and the U.S. Coast Guard, but not ICE, CBP, or the Secretary's office. Republicans have blocked any attempt at funding these agencies and rejected attempts at reforms at ICE and CBP."
