(Washington, D.C.) – Rep. Mark Amodei is warning that tying immigration enforcement changes to DHS funding could have dire effects. The Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman said a department-wide shutdown could result from these demands made by Democrats, and he adds it could bring consequences to national security. Amodei argued ICE is already refocusing on its core mission, noted it would retain some funding even in a shutdown, and said policy disputes should be handled by authorizing committees—not through the appropriations process.
