I will be a hell no on funding to ICE.
Ansari’s Drain ICE Act ( H.R. 7346 ) would rescind and repeal the $75 billion in funding for ICE via the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”
I will be a hell no on ICE funding.
Evidence
"Our legislation places a 12-hour limit on short-term detention and brings transparency and accountability to these shocking facilities directed by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller," said Rep. Ansari. The press release says the bill addresses overcrowding at temporary ICE holding facilities and restores a clear 12-hour limit for detainee stays in ICE holding facilities.
AP reported that the House passed a $70 billion immigration-enforcement bill by a 214-212 vote and that the White House said the measure provides $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with Trump expected to sign it into law.
Assessments
Ansari has taken same-term actions consistent with an anti-ICE posture, including introducing legislation to tighten limits on ICE detention facilities. But the available evidence does not show the key thing needed to score this promise as delivered: a clear recorded vote or other direct action by Ansari being a 'hell no' on ICE funding. At the same time, a major House immigration-enforcement bill advancing with substantial ICE funding cuts against the broader policy goal, and the record provided does not show she stopped it. Because there is meaningful but indirect evidence of opposition, yet no direct proof she fulfilled the specific funding promise, the claim is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered or never.
Ansari has taken concrete same-term action against ICE practices by introducing legislation to limit detention stays and increase accountability at ICE holding facilities. That materially aligns with the anti-ICE stance in the promise, but it does not show that she voted against ICE funding, blocked ICE funding, or delivered a funding-related outcome. Because the available evidence shows effort and related opposition rather than fulfillment of the specific funding promise, partial credit is appropriate.
