Washington, D.C. – Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) released the following statement in response to Republicans’ passage of a 60-day funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security:
“The last thing this Congress should be doing is writing a blank check to ICE,” said Thompson. “Immigration agents have been terrorizing people in our streets and killed two people in Minneapolis. Instead of answering the American people’s calls to overhaul the agency and institute serious reforms including body cameras, banning agents from wearing masks, and requiring judicial warrants to enter a home, Congressional Republicans instead chose to fund DHS with no guardrails. I voted NO on Republicans’ irresponsible funding bill and will continue to oppose even a single penny for this rogue agency.”
