Grassley Statement on the Secure America Act

WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released the following statement regarding the Senate’s consideration of the Secure America Act : “Today, the Senate is voting on the Secure America Act . This is a bill to fund federal law enforcement officers and border security. There is no funding for the Department of Justice in this bill outside of enforcing immigration. Democrats proposed a measure regarding the Anti-Weaponization Fund that would have blocked the bill’s passage by sending the bill back to committee. The Acting Attorney General has already stated the Fund is ‘not moving forward.’ I voted against the Democrat proposal and in favor of advancing the Secure America Act , so we can keep our nation’s families and borders secure.” The Democrat proposal failed to pass, by a vote of 49-50. -30-
