“That’s why my Democratic colleagues and I have been clear since February: you won’t get our votes on new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol unless it includes commonsense guardrails to rein in these agencies’ abuses.”

Cortez Masto publicly reaffirmed the pledge during a Senate floor speech, showing the commitment remained active in the last lookback window and was being applied to ongoing GOP reconciliation talks.

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill recently signed into law provides a full year of funding to the Secret Service, FEMA, TSA, and Coast Guard. It does not include any additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol.”

An official office release says the DHS bill enacted in the period did not add ICE or Border Patrol funding, so there was no need to compromise on the stated guardrails condition in that measure.
