Drain ICE Act of 2026

The Drain ICE Act of 2026 would amend the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to remove federal funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). If enacted, the bill would repeal sections providing financial resources to ICE and rescind any unobligated funds previously set aside for the agency. The bill's sponsors cite concerns about detention facility conditions, unlawful arrests of citizens and legal residents, and the expansion of detention of individuals without criminal records. The bill currently has 42 cosponsors and is under consideration by the House Judiciary Committee. This bill represents one approach to addressing immigration enforcement policy, though it faces significant political challenges given the current composition of Congress.
