Activists urge Democrats to oppose GOP plan to spend billions on ICE

politicsApr 30, 20261040

Indivisible launched a petition urging House and Senate Democrats to "fiercely oppose" a GOP bill that would direct billions more to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol. The group says Republicans stalled Department of Homeland Security funding for months while refusing to enact the ICE and Border Patrol reforms advocates demanded, and that the new measure would lock in increased enforcement spending. Indivisible warns the added billions would expand detention and deportation capacity and urges Democrats to block the bill to preserve leverage for reforms and limit expanded immigration enforcement funding.
