Rep. Frankel Votes No on Funding for ICE, Demands Major Reform

Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement after voting no on a measure that would extend funding for the Department of Homeland Security without significant reform to rein in Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE).

"President Trump's immigration enforcement has become a campaign of cruelty--tearing families apart, hollowing out businesses, and paralyzing neighborhoods with fear," said Rep. Frankel. "While I support the bipartisan agreements we reached in the House to fund most of the government, I could not vote for a package that funds the Department of Homeland Security without immediate reforms to stop ICE from its violations of the law and human rights. Security does not require brutality. Enforcement does not require lawlessness. And our immigration policy should reflect our values-not force us to abandon them."
