Congressman Allen Votes for Budget Framework to Fund ICE and Border Protection

Last night, House Republicans passed S. Con. Res. 33 , which establishes a congressional budget to responsibly fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through the end of President Trump’s term, ensuring these agencies are able to keep the American people safe from threats. Upon passage of S. Con. Res. 33, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) issued the following statement: "House and Senate Democrats have made it abundantly clear that their loyalty lies with illegal immigrants, not with the American people, and not with the brave individuals tasked with securing our border and deporting criminals who have illegally entered our country. While Democrats continue to obstruct funding for the Department of Homeland Security, House Republicans are working to ensure these vital national security agencies have the resources they need to keep Americans safe. This was an easy yes vote." BACKGROUND: Adoption of S. Con. Res. 33 will unlock the process by which Congressional Republicans can fund ICE and CBP through the entirety of President Trump’s term with a simple majority vote in the Senate. This bill makes the FY2026 annual appropriations process whole, ensuring that ICE and CBP can continue the historic progress they have made under the Trump Administration to address the consequences of Democrats’ disastrous open-borders policies.
