This is just a start. @schiff.senate.gov, you need to demand that the ICE/CBP funding be RESCINDED, perhaps to be redirected to health care for Americans, as other senators are supporting.
The amount of money being given to ICE/CBP in the BBB is already excessive.

You could see it as a 1:1 relationship. Republicans clawed back 25% of the IRS funding in the the first showdown after Inflation Reduction Act passage. That could be the baseline: 25% of the ICE surge funding from OBBBA.
Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.
Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

As we await Senate action on the remaining spending bills, remember that Susan Collins could make a difference by stripping out DHS from the rest of the government funding bills. But she won't because she is just as MAGA as the rest of them.

A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.
The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.
