And if it is perceived to be the long arm of
ICE, it is going to be very difficult to work with the community to do
what needs to be done for local law enforcement and community
protection. The end result would tear entire communities apart, would greatly
hinder the ability of local law enforcement to effectively do their
job. Furthermore, this amendment has no place in the T-HUD appropriations
bill. The employees of the Department of Transportation, Housing and
Urban Development are not law enforcement. They do not routinely need
to interact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This amendment
would insert unnecessary controversy into the bill. It does nothing to
improve transportation.
