Legislative Progress
This bill targets the budget of a specific law enforcement agency and currently lacks the broad support needed to pass through a divided Congress.
Key Points
- This bill would stop the Department of Homeland Security from spending any tax dollars on television commercials for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE.
- The ban covers ads meant to recruit new workers, promote specific ICE programs, or simply try to make the agency look better to the public.
- If passed, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be legally blocked from paying for the production or broadcasting of these TV spots.
- The goal of the bill is to ensure that government money is spent on agency operations rather than public relations or branding campaigns.
