LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, announced Tuesday its members will oppose any new funding for immigration enforcement until “meaningful reforms” are put in place. Funding for DHS, which includes ICE, was not included in the batch of spending bills released Sunday by the House Appropriations Committee. Progressive Caucus leaders signaled they’re not angling to shut the government down in their fight over ICE funding. “Members of Congress have a clear, spelled out legal right under the existing DHS funding bill to be allowed into these facilities without this notice,” Murphy posted on social media. “So if Congress is going to keep funding DHS, there must be meaningful restraints to rein in this brazen lawlessness.”
