Sorensen Votes Against Additional Funding for Trump’s ICE and CBP

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) released the following statement after voting against giving Trump's ICE and CBP an additional $70 billion in federal funding:

"Donald Trump should not be able to use ICE and CBP to tear families apart and terrorize my neighbors, which is why I voted against House Republicans' latest attempt to use our tax dollars to fund these agencies," said Congressman Eric Sorensen. "My constituents in Central and Northwestern Illinois want our tax dollars to be used to lower the cost of healthcare and groceries, not a $70 billion blank check for Trump to continue using ICE and CBP for political gain."

Congressman Eric Sorensen represents Illinois' 17th District in the United States House of Representatives. Prior to serving in Congress, Sorensen was a local meteorologist in Rockford and the Quad Cities for more than 20 years. His district includes Illinois' Quad Cities, Rockford, Peoria, and Bloomington-Normal.
