ICE recently received billions in additional funding through the so-called “One Big Beautiful” bill, with no meaningful guardrails or oversight. Congress effectively handed ICE a massive slush fund while expanding its operational reach and shielding it from consequences.
Senators must not allow this to continue.
The solution is straightforward: fund the rest of the government immediately and demand a standalone vote on DHS.
This preserves funding for essential agencies while allowing Congress to confront the reality that ICE is out of control.
Any Senate action to separate or amend DHS funding will require a new vote in the House, and representatives must be prepared now to reject any final bill that preserves ICE’s current funding and impunity.
No appropriations bill or continuing resolution should maintain funding for ICE without fundamental change. Congress has the power of the purse, and it must use it. Anything less signals that constitutional violations and deadly force will be tolerated as long as they are bundled with unrelated priorities.
I urge you to demand a separate vote on DHS funding and to block any measure that continues funding ICE as it currently exists. Accountability is not optional, and Congress must not be coerced into abandoning it.
