If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is:
In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.”
In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Breaking:
In a 6-3 ruling, the conservative justices just ruled that nationwide injunctions likely exceed the authority Congress has given the courts.
In doing so, the Court is narrowing nationwide injunctions that blocked Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship.
