“... There's a chilling effect out there. ICE is patrolling our commercial arteries, and one cannot go out to shop or go to church, or visit a family member, so this has a profound impact way beyond the immigration issue,” said Espaillat. “It has an impact on our local economy.”
Recently, Espaillat said he and his colleagues are trying to make sure that more funding does not go toward the ICE agency through the reconciliation process. Congress gave about $170 billion to ICE last year. This year, whether the Trump administration would get about $70 billion more in funding through 2029 has been up in the air for the last several months.
