The Senate Must say NO more funding for Trump’s mass detention and deportations

The House-passed government funding bill provides excessive funds for immigration enforcement at the expense of vital social programs. Allocating nearly $500 million more for ICE, raising its budget to $10 billion, prioritizes detention and deportation over addressing root causes of migration or investing in communities. This empowers the administration to act with impunity, separating families and disrupting local economies without oversight. Meanwhile, the bill cuts funding for healthcare, nutrition assistance, children's services, and conservation efforts that support all Americans. As the Senate deliberates, a balanced approach upholding human rights and investing in communities, not further militarization, is needed to meet this nation's priorities humanely and effectively.
