Senate Republicans voted to fully fund law enforcement today, ensuring that ICE and Border Patrol will have the resources they need to protect American communities and keep our borders secure. Meanwhile, Jon Ossoff continues fighting to hamstring law enforcement by voting with Democrats to defund the police.
“Jon Ossoff has spent months trying to defund the police, proving once again that he would rather protect criminal illegals like Laken Riley’s killer than Georgians,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia. “Senate Republicans are making sure law enforcement officers have the resources they need to keep Georgia families safe for years to come.”
Background
- Ossoff wants to block local law enforcement from assisting in deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
- Ossoff refuses to back efforts to deport criminal illegals, gang members, and terrorists.
- Ossoff has openly smeared federal law enforcement officers, saying they “look like they couldn’t pass the army physical exam,” referring to them as “masked men” and “pretend Delta Force operators.”
- Democrats have repeatedly tried to defund the police by blocking funding for immigration enforcement—but Republicans are united in refusing to let Democrats hold public safety hostage.
- Democrats pandering to their rabid base by claiming they’re blocking law enforcement funding are lying. Thanks to Republican leadership, ICE and Border Patrol will have even more funding to keep Americans safe.
