U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, who serves as Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, has announced his intention to vote against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill.
In a statement released from Springfield, Durbin said: “I will not vote to fund the illegal DHS and ICE operations that terrorize Chicago, Minneapolis, and many other communities. The deaths of innocent Americans and the detaining of thousands of innocent people are a national disgrace."
Durbin further criticized Secretary Noem for declining to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding her leadership at DHS. “Secretary Noem refuses to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to account for her stewardship over this reign of terror. I will not reward her arrogance and lawlessness with my vote.”
