Moulton Introduces ICE Defunding Bill, Faces Shutdown Showdown
Representative Seth Moulton introduced a bill to reverse a recent funding increase to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and reallocate the funds to lower healthcare tax credits. This bill aims to restore ICE funding to its previous level and repurpose the remaining funds, aligning with growing public outrage over recent actions by ICE agents. The bill is also a response to the lapsing of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Furthermore, the bill is meant to address concerns about escalating immigration operations and potential future government shutdowns.
