Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for the people it detains, often using third-party providers to do so.
But, despite ample funding, the agency has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025.

One year ago Donald Trump swore an oath to support the Constitution, but he’s used the presidency to enrich himself and his family, the New York Times' editorial board writes. Check out how Trump pocketed $1.4 billion in a single year.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
