\n

Congress narrowly voted to fund President Donald Trump\u2019s mass deportation agenda, giving the Department of Homeland Security $70 billion over the next three years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The house voted 214 to 212 in favor of the reconciliation bill Tuesday, following the Senate\u2019s 52-47 vote<\/a> last Friday morning. The vote fell largely along party lines. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was the only Senate Republican to vote against it. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), initially voted against the bill \u2014 meaning it would have failed \u2014 but changed his vote after huddling with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and and Appropriations Chair Tom Cole, according to The Hill<\/em><\/a>. No Democrats voted in favor of the funding bill, which was done through a budget reconciliation process to avoid a Democratic filibuster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a speech on the House floor ahead of the Tuesday vote, Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) criticized Republicans for using the budget reconciliation process to avoid negotiating with Democrats, and emphasized ICE\u2019s lack of popularity with the American people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAt its core, this Republican reconciliation budget bill is a statement about priorities, and the priorities represented in this budget bill could not be more out of step with the needs and values of the American people,\u201d Scanlon said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Scanlon noted that DHS has yet to spend $100 billion<\/a> of the nearly $200 billion it received under Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act<\/a>. She added that Trump has not only expanded ICE\u2019s reach by increasingly going after legal immigrants but also weaponized DHS against its critics. The bill, she said, will \u201csupercharge\u201d Trump\u2019s abuses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After the House markup last Friday, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, noted<\/a> that the bill not only lacks sufficient reforms but also cuts funding for cybersecurity and TSA, whose workers went weeks without pay<\/a> during the DHS shutdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The funding bill comes at a time of deep unpopularity for ICE. One recent poll<\/a> found that just 33 percent of voters approve of how the agency is doing its job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And it comes amid yet another threat<\/a> from border czar Tom Homan to flood New York City with ICE agents. In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Homan said he would send \u201cmore ICE agents than you\u2019ve ever seen\u201d to New York City if the state government passed a bill limiting cooperation with DHS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cProviding a quarter trillion dollars to an administration promising that the public \u2018ain\u2019t seen shit yet\u2019 when it comes to mass deportation is a historic mistake,\u201d Todd Schulte, president of the immigration reform group FWD.us, said in a statement. \u201cSupercharging the funding for these already out of control systems will come with terrible human consequences and continue to be met with increasing opposition from voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Correction, June 9th: <\/strong><\/em>A previous version of this story said Rep. Tim Walberg voted against the funding bill. He initially voted against it but then changed his vote to support it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Update, June 9th: <\/strong><\/em>This story has been updated to include comment from FWD.us president Todd Schulte.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
