Pasadena Rep. Chu Votes Against House ICE Funding Bill as Shutdown Continues

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The vote came hours after the Senate unanimously approved a separate bill by voice vote that would fund most of DHS -- including the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard and the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- but exclude ICE and most of Customs and Border Protection, according to the New York Times.
52% : Democrats have demanded reforms including requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras and display identification, prohibiting agents from wearing masks during operations and requiring judicial warrants for certain arrests.
46% : ICE has been largely unaffected because of approximately $75 billion appropriated through a reconciliation package passed last summer, according to NPR.
39% : Rep. Judy Chu voted against a House Republican bill late Friday that would fund the Department of Homeland Security, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, for 60 days, calling ICE "an uncontrolled rogue agency" in a statement released by her office.
34% : "I continue to stand with immigrants and all Americans, and will work to ensure that ICE and the Trump administration are held accountable," Chu said in the statement.
