WASHINGTON 鈥� President Biden announced his proposal for a for Fiscal Year 2022 today, funding the Department of Homeland Security at the same level as his predecessor. The budget includes funding for 30,000 beds in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, sustained funding for Customs and Border Protection, and over $100M to address 鈥渄omestic terrorism鈥� and 鈥渃ountering extremism鈥� programs.

Naureen Shah, senior advocacy and policy counsel at the 老澳门开奖结果, issued the following statement:

鈥淧resident Biden鈥檚 proposed DHS budget today includes positive measures to increase accountability and oversight, but fails to make a sharp enough break from the Trump administration鈥檚 wasteful and harmful spending on the detention and deportation machine. Allowing abusive programs that escalated under the Trump administration 鈥� particularly ICE鈥檚 287g program with local law enforcement 鈥� to set the baseline for the budget betrays the promise of the Biden administration鈥檚 vision of a humane and rights-respecting immigration system. After promising to end 鈥榗ountering extremism鈥� programs, Biden has instead allocated more than $100 million for these programs that have not only failed in previous administrations, but also wrongly stigmatized, surveilled, and discriminated against Black and Brown communities 鈥� particularly Muslims.

鈥淲e have been encouraged by President Biden鈥檚 rhetoric, which speaks of building a just and humane immigration system. We urge him to fund that vision appropriately by divesting from the programs that abuse, degrade, and criminalize immigrants and reinvesting in our communities.鈥�
