As a Senator, Kamala Harris Tried to Take $220 Million Out of ICE’s Enforcement Division
By Jon Feere
Excerpt: In the middle of the Trump administration’s effort to ramp up deportations of criminal illegal aliens in 2019, then-Senator Kamala Harris introduced a bill that would have taken $220 million out of the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is responsible for arrests and deportations of illegal aliens.
