Support and work to claw back $75 billion in ICE funding allocated in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' and redirect it elsewhere.

And the $75 billion in funding Republicans’ gave ICE in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ must be clawed back and redirected.

Welch promises to try to recover and redirect $75 billion in ICE funding.

On May 18, 2026, Welch led 15 senators in requesting FY27 Defense Appropriations bill language to tighten control and oversight over DOD contract vehicles used for domestic immigration enforcement, including proposed bill language prohibiting DOD funds from supporting domestic immigration enforcement operations.

Concrete anti-ICE funding action in the current term, but it targets contracting and oversight rather than an enacted clawback of the $75 billion allocation.

Welch said the Senate voted to fund government functions 'without funding for ICE and parts of Customs and Border Protection' and that 'this unanimous vote by the Senate to fund everything but ICE delivers on that promise.'

Shows Welch supporting a funding package that excluded ICE funding, but it does not establish that he clawed back the specific $75 billion from the One Big Beautiful Bill.
