Representative Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03) cosponsored the Make Housing Affordable and Defend Democracy Act, landmark legislation that redirects the $175 billion ICE and CBP slush fund... and reinvests those billions directly into proven solutions that would reduce rents, expand homeownership, and incentivize the building of housing that’s affordable across the country.
I will support legislation that redirects ICE and CBP funding into affordable housing solutions.

Ansari publicly cosponsored legislation that matches the promise by redirecting ICE and CBP funding toward housing solutions, which satisfies the pledged action of supporting that kind of bill during her current term. The evidence shows direct legislative support, even though it does not by itself show final enactment.
