Political violence has been rising in our country– and since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade over two years ago, much of that violence has been targeted against abortion clinics and providers.
The party of "law and order" is led by a President prioritizing the deportation of non-violent undocumented immigrants over drug traffickers while also pardoning insurrectionists who beat cops. Make it make sense.
President Trump has told ICE that its PRIMARY mission is to go after undocumented immigrants with no criminal record.   This means he's prioritizing going after a population that overwhelmingly pays its taxes and contributes to our economy over pedophiles and drug traffickers.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations is the law enforcement agency which goes after child sex abuse material online. Trump issued an executive order last night saying that for HSI, arresting undocumented immigrants must be more important for them than going after pedophiles.
Sec. 4.  Civil Enforcement Priorities.  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall take all appropriate action to enable the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to set priorities for their agencies that protect the public safety and national security interests of the American people, including by ensuring the successful enforcement of final orders of removal.  Further, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that the primary mission of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations division is the enforcement of the provisions of the INA and other Federal laws related to the illegal entry and unlawful presence of aliens in the United States and the enforcement of the purposes of this order.
It’s the last full week of the Biden-Harris administration. As I reflect on the progress our country made over the last four years under their leadership, I want to talk about some of those wins and how they’ve set up our country and community for success for years to come. youtu.be/sm0mUJvRhUY
The two subcommittees I join today have a significant impact on our community, and my work on these subcommittees will help prioritize El Paso’s needs as we craft our federal government’s spending bills.
I’m thrilled to have a direct role in funding critical components of our federal government, funding that flows to El Paso and our nation, such as crucial infrastructure needs of the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, and more.
I am deeply honored to be selected to serve on the House Appropriations Committee. From ensuring that overlooked populations receive adequate resources, to making public services affordable & accessible for everyone, the work of the Appropriations Committee is critical.
