What happened
Ilhan Omar introduced legislation, the Make ICE Pay Act, proposing the redirection of over $100 billion in funds previously allocated to immigration enforcement. The bill seeks to move nearly $140 billion of ICE and Border Patrol funding toward local recovery efforts across the country. If passed, the program would be administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and would expire three years after its creation.

Why it matters
The proposed program would allow local jurisdictions to use the funds for economic relief, supporting small businesses, healthcare, and educational services. The funds are intended to compensate for impacts caused by immigration enforcement operations.
