Henry Cuellar votes to gut ICE’s budget

July 22, 2021

Henry Cuellar claims he “supports ICE,” but he voted last week to give the organization “$331.6 million below the 2021 enacted level.” 

His votes comes as COVID cases are spiking among illegal migrant detainees, drug trafficking is increasing along the U.S.-Mexico border and illegal migrant crossing reach new record highs every month.

NRCC COMMENT: “Henry Cuellar’s constituents depend on ICE for employment and to keep them safe. His vote to gut ICE’s budget will cost him reelection.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
