MAGA Republicans' dangerous deportation campaign hurts us all. Instead of funding healthcare, Republicans like Tom Tiffany voted to send billions to ICE to spread fear and rip families apart, and now Wisconsinites are paying the price for their cruelty.

Trump deportations cost taxpayers $2,358 each
The projected $268.9 billion could otherwise fund major safety-net programs.
