Dems call for additional $20 million in funding for controversial DHS program aiding illegal immigrants
Fox News
36 House Democrats are calling for millions in funding for a controversial pilot program that helps illegal immigrants facing deportation, despite GOP objections.
They also call for the OMB to "instruct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to prioritize establishing the program and that the expansion of CMPP does not result in an expansion of individuals subject to ICE surveillance through detention and electronic surveillance." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
The CMPP was authorized by Congress in the 2021 DHS Appropriations Act, which provided $5 million in funding to FEMA for the program. It was funding for an additional $20 million in the FY 23 appropriations bill. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
