We all want safe communities \u2013 but Trump\u2019s ICE and CBP are operating without regard for the law or the Constitution.\n\n\u201cThis egregious package fails to include any real reforms to rein in Trump\u2019s lawless immigration policies. Instead of helping working families afford housing, groceries, and healthcare, Republicans have chosen to spend billions more empowering a corrupt administration that repeatedly ignores the law and violates fundamental rights.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-11T06:38:38Z", "2026-06-11T06:41:07Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://ross.house.gov/2026/6/congresswoman-ross-votes-against-70-billion-blank-check-for-trump-s-immigration-policies"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8904328569769859, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
