Ranking Member Thompson Statement on Republicans Giving Trump Billions More for Out-of-Control Mass Deportations
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on extremist Republicans giving Donald Trump billions more for his out-of-control mass deportations:
“Just like last year’s Big Ugly Bill, this legislation gives billions to a violent, lawless, and unconstitutional Trump administration.
“It does not prohibit agents from wearing masks or require officers to get judicial warrants. It does not prohibit racial profiling or stop raids at daycares, churches, or hospitals. And it does not prevent the Justice Department from creating a slush fund to pay Donald Trump’s insurrectionists who assaulted law enforcement.
“Instead, this bill gives the Trump regime a blank check to execute more out-of-control, unaccountable crackdowns on migrants and the American citizens supporting them. Americans know the difference between a government that works for them and one that works only for Donald Trump.”
