Congress just handed over $70 billion of our tax dollars to ICE to terrorize people, rip families apart, & lock up our neighbors. $70B could be used to actually help people, yet the Trump Admin & its billionaire allies are using it to fuel more violence. www.npr.org/2026/06/09/n...

House passes bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol through the remainder of Trump's term
The bill provides roughly $70 billion for immigration enforcement and highlights a GOP caucus continuing to endorse Trump's immigration agenda as Democrats warn Congress has ceded its oversight role.
