On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) responded to a question on the expiration of DHS funds harming TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard while ICE would still have lots of money by stating that “we’re representing our constituents by saying no. We know that, through the big, beautiful bill that they passed to give ICE essentially unlimited amounts of resources and give huge tax breaks to billionaires, at the cost of health care for working people, we know they did that last year, but what we’re saying is we’re not going to give them a penny more to do what we’ve seen over the last year.”
Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “Obviously, ICE funding and the Department of Homeland Security funding overall has become a huge sticking point on Capitol Hill. They have $75 billion for the next four years because of a bill — legislation that’s already passed. I think, given that, some people might ask, how do you explain a vote that doesn’t actually block that ICE funding, because they already have it? It would block money to pay TSA agents, FEMA workers, Coast Guard members. Obviously, people that would be indirectly or directly affected, not intentionally so, but they would be directly affected by this. How would you justify your vote to those people?”
