Last year, Republicans used this same tool to send ICE and Border Patrol tens of billions of dollars with few strings.

The 2-14, 2-12 House vote caps a months-long debate over immigration policy sparked when officers killed two U.S.
citizens in Minneapolis.
Democrats secured none of the additional reforms they were demanding in wake of the shootings, like requiring officer-worn body cameras, while Republicans used a special budget maneuver to skirt Democrats and fund ICE and Border Patrol not just for this year, but until 2029.
Democrats and even some Republicans worry the unorthodox move allows the agencies to avoid congressional oversight.
That's because they won't have to come back to Congress for more money for three years.

Wait, this is true?
Retiring Republican Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina also said the fund was a political liability.
a new group of detractors emerged like Dan Sullivan of Alaska and John Husted of Ohio.
What did they have in common?
They're among the most vulnerable Republicans this fall.
So not only did this anti-weaponization fund almost jeopardize a top priority of Trump in terms of immigration funding, it could also endanger Republicans' ability to hold on to control of Congress.
There's always been this small camp of Republicans willing to criticize the president.
What I think this blow up did is reveal maybe more widespread frustrations below the surface.
And it also tested how far those frustrated members are actually willing to go to push back.
These tensions were already simmering as Trump started endorsing primary opponents to incumbent members of his own party this spring.
But the thought of taxpayers possibly compensating January 6th rioters may have been a breaking point for a broader swath of lawmakers who lived through that day.
