Democrats Vote Again to Defund Law Enforcement

The Secure America Act is a pivotal bill to fund law enforcement which Democrats refuse to support.

THE SECURE AMERICA ACT IS VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

  • President Trump signed the Secure America Act which will fund CBP and ICE through FY2029 with zero votes from Congressional Democrats.
  • For too long, Democrats have used federal law enforcement as a bargaining chip for their radical agenda, but President Trump and Republicans put a stop to it.
  • Democrats will no longer be able to defund ICE and CBP for the remainder of President Trump’s term – a triumphant victory for law enforcement and the safety of Americans.
  • The bill will provide:
    • Paychecks for ICE and CBP officers.
    • Enhanced security to combat drug trafficking, including fentanyl.
    • Resources to better combat human trafficking.
    • Technological upgrades including drones and detection devices.
    • Body cameras, protective equipment, and uniforms.
    • Funding to swiftly remove illegal aliens from our country.

DEMOCRATS VOTE TO DEFUND LAW ENFORCEMENT

  • Democrats have voted to defund law enforcement an astounding 36 times while shutting down the government three separate times since President Trump took office.
    • Senate Democrats voted against the Secure America Act.
    • Senate Democrats voted to defund law enforcement 17 times when they shutdown DHS.
    • Senate Democrats voted 14 times to shut down the federal government, including DHS, during the government shutdown last year.
    • House Democrats voted against DHS funding during this year’s partial government shutdown 4 times.
  • Just last month, 173 House Democrats voted against a resolution to support law enforcement.
  • 211 House Democrats voted to defund ICE and CBP.
  • A vote to defund law enforcement is an admission that Democrats wish to return to the failed and dangerous open border policies of the Biden administration.

THE NEED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNDING COMES AT A CRITICAL JUNCTURE

PRESIDENT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS HAVE DELIVERED THE MOST SECURE BORDER IN HISTORY

  • After four years of open borders under Joe Biden, President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.
    • For twelve straight months, there have been zero releases at the southwest border.
    • Daily apprehensions are down 95% from the Biden era and there have been 15 consecutive months of fewer than 9,000 southwest border apprehensions.
  • Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are keeping Americans safe as in April 2026 alone, they seized:
    • 185,000 pounds of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, fentanyl, and other harmful drugs.
    • Nearly three million counterfeit goods valued at over $1.5 billion.
    • $810 million shipments of potential forced labor violations.
  • Through all the success, violence against law enforcement at all-time high, underscoring the need to support the brave men and women in uniform.
    • ICE officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults, 8,000% increase in death threats, and more than 3,300% increase in vehicle attacks since President Trump took office.



      DEMOCRATS WILL REOPEN THE BORDER IF THEY TAKE POWER

      • Democrats have admitted they want to take America back to Biden’s failed open border policies.
        • Texas Senate candidate James Talarico said, “We should treat our southern border like our front porch.”
        • Rep. Katherine Clark thinks Joe Biden “got there” on immigration, hailing his policies as a success.
        • New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat thinks that people who illegally in our country didn’t “commit a crime,” and said he’s “fighting against deportations every single day.”
        • Texas Rep. Vicente Gonzalez said America needs to “lighten up” at the border.“
        • New York Congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier said, "Yes literally abolish the border.”
        • California Rep. Ami Bera says he “stands” with other Democrats who don’t want to fund ICE and CBP.
