Support reforms to end ICE’s indiscriminate and unlawful mass targeting of communities, ensuring that citizens are protected against warrantless home entries and ICE interference with local law enforcement.

Senate Democrats are requesting reforms to the isolated DHS bill, which will: End ICE’s indiscriminate and unlawful mass targeting of communities: Citizens are entitled to the protection of a judicial warrant. ICE cannot go into homes without a warrant. ICE cannot interfere with local law enforcement.

Welch supports reforms to restrict ICE from entering homes without a warrant, from interfering with local law enforcement, and to end mass targeting of communities.

Welch led 15 senators in asking appropriators to add FY27 language restricting DOD contract vehicles from being used for domestic immigration enforcement and describing DHS/DOD use of those vehicles to bypass state and local control.

Recent official action shows Welch is still actively pushing procedural restrictions on ICE-related expansion, but it is a request for future appropriations language rather than a completed reform.

Welch said Senate Democrats would fight for reforms that end ICE’s indiscriminate mass targeting, require judicial warrants for home entries, prevent ICE from interfering with local law enforcement, and hold agents to local-policing standards.

This is the clearest official statement tying Welch to the specific promise language; it shows support and intent, but not delivery, and no enacted reform is evidenced here.
