Washington, D.C.--U.S. Senator for Idaho Mike Crapo issued the following statement after voting in favor of passage of the Secure America Act, legislation to fully fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol through 2029:
“Immigration enforcement is a critical component of our national security,” said Crapo. “Democrats’ refusal to fund law enforcement at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security resulted in a record-long government shutdown and uncertainty for the men and women who work tirelessly to protect the American people. I voted today to fully fund these critical agencies through the end of the President’s term to ensure we continue to secure our border and enforce the law.”
