DHS to siphon $155M in disaster aid to bolster immigration enforcement

The Trump administration plans to siphon $155 million in disaster aid to beef up funding for ICE

The Trump administration plans to divert at least $155 million in federal disaster aid to beef up funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Roybal-Allard, who chairs the House subcommittee that funds DHS, also noted that the Trump administration wants to shift funding to expand detention capacity, “despite a significant reduction in single adults crossing the border since early June.” While the administration doesn’t require congressional approval to shift the funds, Roybal-Allard urged DHS to work with the House Appropriations Committee “to restore the partnership we once had in support of the Department’s many important missions.”
