Omar's Make ICE Pay Act Would Redirect $140B From Immigration Enforcement to Local Communities
TL;DR Summary
Rep. Ilhan Omar introduced the Make ICE Pay Act to shift roughly $140 billion of ICE and Border Patrol funding away from federal immigration enforcement and toward local recovery efforts administered by HUD for three years, funding schools, healthcare, nonprofits, and other local needs. Conservatives decry the plan as un-American and an attempt to defund law enforcement, and its fate remains uncertain with Republicans in control of Congress.
