DeGette to Vote Against Homeland Security Funding Bill

January 21, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01) released the following statement before voting against the Department of Homeland Security funding bill: “The Trump administration has weaponized ICE and Border Patrol, turning those agencies into masked, hostile police forces that are terrorizing the American people. ICE has become a rogue agency that has gone far beyond its original mandate. It should be immediately dismantled. “I will not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security when ICE and Border Patrol agents are assaulting protestors, detaining and arresting people with impunity, inciting violence, and shooting and killing American citizens. Furthermore, Secretary Kristi Noem and her thugs have been acting in violation of court orders and in contempt of Congress, and she should be impeached.”
