Evidence
Larsen's office says he voted no on a partisan ICE funding bill, continued his condition that ICE follow ordinary law-enforcement rules, and proposed six amendments redirecting or striking ICE-related funding. It also says the House passed the bill 214-212 and Republicans blocked all of his amendments.
Larsen's office says he voted for bipartisan DHS legislation funding every DHS agency except ICE and CBP, and voted against a FY2026 budget resolution starting negotiations for ICE and CBP funding. The statement says he would keep opposing full-year ICE and CBP funding until agents follow the same rules as other law enforcement agencies.
Larsen's office says he cosponsored legislation to fully fund FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS agencies while excluding ICE, CBP, and the DHS Secretary's office. The release states he would not vote to fund ICE unless DHS agents follow ordinary law-enforcement rules.
The draft DHS appropriations bill linked from Larsen's cosponsorship release bars transfers to any account of U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and says CBP and ICE explanatory-statement amounts have no force or effect for the Act.
Assessments
The promise was a continuing conduct commitment: oppose ICE funding unless ICE is required to follow ordinary law-enforcement rules. In the same federal House term, Larsen voted against ICE/CBP funding without guardrails on June 9-10, 2026, publicly reiterated the same condition, proposed amendments to strike or redirect ICE-related funding, voted for DHS funding that excluded ICE and CBP on April 30, 2026, and cosponsored an alternative DHS funding approach excluding ICE/CBP transfers. The broader ICE funding bill passed over his opposition and his amendments were blocked, but the promised action was continued opposition, not enactment of the accountability requirement itself.
