WASHINGTON, D.C. — 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.
“Jon Ossoff and Senate Democrats have spent months stonewalling law enforcement funding while Bernie Sanders’ far-left recruits cheer them on, proving once again that they would rather protect criminal illegals than law-abiding Americans,” said NRSC National Press Secretary Bernadette Breslin. “Senate Republicans are making sure law enforcement officers have the resources they need to keep American families safe for years to come.”
Background
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.
