Yet amid the rising risks of terrorism, Republicans are holding critical Homeland Security funding hostage in order to undermine and roll back key protections for immigrant families. I urge the Senate to pass a clean, bipartisan bill so we can restore certainty to DHS funding and protect the American people.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
