Rep. Mark Pocan warned that he would oppose unlawful ICE actions in Wisconsin and criticized the effects of enforcement on communities. The story also reports debate over increased DHS funding and quotes Republican lawmakers supporting law enforcement and a separate appropriations package.
Pocan told reporters that constituents were concerned about possible increases in ICE raids and said people should speak out if ICE acted unlawfully. He said he was prepared to fight to protect people and urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to schedule more floor sessions for legislation that could reduce ICE’s impact on communities. The article reports that lawmakers were discussing increased DHS funding and that Pocan did not expect a government shutdown, though he said the bill would be difficult to pass in the House.
The article says Democrats were hesitant to approve additional funding after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. President Donald Trump praised ICE’s work in Minnesota. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald praised a separate appropriations package after it passed through a House committee, while a spokesperson for Rep. Derrick Van Orden said his support for law enforcement was unchanged.
