As your Congressman, I will continue advocating for our Border Patrol to have the resources they need to get the job done while protecting American citizens and respecting the inalienable human rights of hopeful migrants.
Continue advocating for Border Patrol to have the resources needed to do the job while protecting citizens and respecting human rights.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official House homepage lists recent immigration-related activity under Latest News, including a Feb. 19, 2026 press release on a proposed ICE facility in Hyattsville and a Feb. 4, 2026 letter demanding federal cooperation with local investigators in DHS shootings in Minneapolis. I found no June 21-23, 2026 update on the site.
Ivey's official immigration issue page says the immigration system should treat immigrants humanely, establish a pathway to citizenship, and properly fund border security. The same page says he supported more than $1.4 billion last Congress for border resources, including more Border Patrol officers and staff, equipment, aircraft, intelligence analysis, targeting, and surveillance technology, and that he will continue advocating for Border Patrol resources while protecting citizens and migrants' human rights.
Public Law 118-47, Division C, appropriated $18,426,870,000 for U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations and support, including vehicles, marine vessels, aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and humanitarian support, plus $850,170,000 for CBP procurement, construction, and improvements, including border security technologies and assets.
The House Clerk records Roll Call 102 as passed, 286-134, on the motion providing for House concurrence in the Senate amendment to H.R. 2882, the vehicle for Public Law 118-47. The vote list records Representative Ivey, Democrat of Maryland, as voting Yea.
Ivey and Maryland senators pressed DHS and ICE for answers about a proposed ICE facility in Hyattsville, requesting information on size, scope, personnel, cost, whether enforcement operations or detention areas would be included, local consultation, and protocols to ensure constitutional protections while avoiding unnecessary disruption.
Ivey led a letter to DHS, FBI, and DOJ demanding full cooperation with state and local prosecutors investigating shootings during a federal immigration enforcement operation. His statement said federal immigration authorities must provide complete cooperation so the truth is established, and that accountability strengthens law enforcement and protects public trust.
Ivey's official committees page lists him in the 119th Congress on the House Committee on Appropriations, including the Commerce, Justice, and Science subcommittee and Financial Services and General Government subcommittee, and on the House Committee on Ethics.
Assessments
Recent official House activity shows Glenn Ivey is actively engaged on immigration and homeland-security issues, which is consistent with the promise to keep advocating. However, the available evidence does not directly show Border Patrol-specific resource advocacy or the human-rights framing in the claim, so this is only partial credit rather than full fulfillment.
