Block Increase for ICE and Mass Deportation in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act
To: Rep. Smucker
From: A constituent in Lititz, PA
July 1
The proposed increase of $155.2 billion for immigration and border enforcement in H.R. 1 would massively expand ICE's ability to detain and deport immigrants without due process, violating their constitutional rights. The funding includes $45 billion for new detention facilities, $27 billion for hiring thousands more ICE officers, and $51.6 billion for further border wall construction. This draconian approach enables human rights abuses and unlawful deportations. As a constitutionally-minded representative, you should reject this unconscionable expansion of an agency that routinely violates civil liberties. Protect human rights by opposing the ICE funding increase and voting against H.R. 1.
