ICE has spent years expanding its capacity to terrorize communities, abuse people’s rights, and even kill American citizens in the process. Since Trump took office last year, more than 40 people have died in ICE custody, the most in such a short period of time.

House and Senate Republicans are using budget reconciliation to pass this bill, a procedural maneuver designed to bypass Democratic opposition.
They know how unpopular ICE is, which is why they’re trying to rush this through on a party-line vote.
