The Department of Homeland Security is facing a budget shortfall of $700 million, leading to plans by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to potentially release thousands of migrants from detention. Congress failed to address the deficit, with ICE considering downsizing its detention capacity due to lack of funding.

.@ICEGov may have to release thousands of migrants from its custody as a result of a $700 million budget shortfall. This could have been avoided, but Washington partisans rejected our border security bill, putting politics over real solutions, and these are the consequences. https://t.co/Hia9L4Q9JV
When DC politicians tank bipartisan, commonsense border security legislation for their own political gain, it makes America less safe.

Our bipartisan border security bill included $6 billion in funding for @ICEgov. We could’ve stopped this. Now, we run the risk of ICE releasing thousands of migrants to the streets because Washington partisans want to use this crisis to benefit their elections. Shameful. https://t.co/ryiBn3Uc61
Reports of ICE's dangerous budget shortfall is a serious problem that could have been entirely prevented—and shows that Congress's failure to pass a bipartisan border security bill is already making our country less safe.
