Baldwin, Johnson React to Homeland Security Funding Fight

Frederica Freyberg:
Known as the White House border czar, Tom Homan came to Minnesota late this week to say the immigration enforcement mission is going to improve, and that he is working on a drawdown plan. Meanwhile, U.S. Senate Democrats demand tighter rules for federal officers before voting to extend funding to Homeland Security, even as that funding is part of a larger spending bill.
Ahead of the vote and compromise, Wisconsin U.S. senators staked their positions on the matter speaking with Wisconsin Public Radio. Senator Tammy Baldwin said, “Americans agreed with Trump that we should get hardened criminals, dangerous criminals who are here undocumented, under arrest and out of the country. But we are seeing ICE and other federal agents behave in a much broader way. They’re just combing the streets, going door to door, outside our schools. It is out of control.”
Senator Johnson told WPR this week, “This is just a continuation of the defund police movement. Democrats opened up the borders, allowed millions of people to flood into this country, including criminals, human, sex, drug traffickers, resulting in these rapes and murders. And now the very agency tasked with cleaning up that enormous Democrat-created mess — they want to defund,” he said.
