Frankel: No More Funding for ICE Without Common-Sense Reforms

Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement after again voting against a funding package for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the federal agency that includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"The proposed legislation provides billions more for ICE without a single meaningful reform or safeguard. At a time when this agency has become increasingly lawless and unaccountable-tearing families apart, destabilizing businesses, spreading fear in communities, and killing American citizens-Congress should not be writing a blank check."
"I will not support funding ICE until the Trump Administration implements basic, common-sense reforms-including requiring agents to be identifiable, protecting local law enforcement resources from being diverted to ICE operations, and requiring judicial warrants before agents can enter people's homes," said Rep. Frankel.
"In the meantime, DHS will still have the resources it needs to respond to real threats. Democrats have proposed legislation to fund the rest of the department while negotiations on these reforms continue."
