Today, I offered an amendment to the #HomelandSecurity #appropriations bill in order to to combat #ICE’s inhumane & ineffective detention policy. Despite President Trump's affinity for locking up families, detention isn’t the only option when it comes to #immigration enforcement.
My amendment decreases funding for immigration #detention beds to match the FY18 level & puts these savings into Urban Area Security Initiative grant program, which helps large cities like #Chicago invest in the training & equipment to respond to their unique security challenges.
Chain-link fences, filthy mattresses on the floor, inadequate health care, lack of nutritious food—this is the standard in #detention facilities today. According to one 17-year-old boy from Honduras, detainees are treated "worse than dogs."
