Dan Sullivan and 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. There’s no doubt Mary Peltola would vote with her fellow Democrats to defund law enforcement.
“Radical leftist Mary Peltola stood by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as violent crime skyrocketed. While Peltola refused to denounce defund the police lunatics, Dan Sullivan is making sure law enforcement officers have the resources they need to keep Alaska families safe for years to come,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
Background
- Peltola refused to vote for a resolution condemning defund the police radicals and a resolution making it a deportable offense to assault law enforcement.
- 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.
