Activists urge Democrats to oppose GOP plan to spend billions on ICE

politicsApr 30, 20261042

Indivisible launched a national petition urging House and Senate Democrats to oppose a GOP spending plan that would funnel billions more to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol. Indivisible says Republicans have kept the Department of Homeland Security shut down for months while refusing to enact ICE and Border Patrol reforms and are now pushing a funding boost instead. The petition warns the proposed allocation would expand detention and deportation capacity rather than fund oversight or community-based alternatives, and it urges Democrats to block the measure ahead of upcoming appropriations votes.
