Statement “At this time when skyrocketing food prices have increased hunger and food insecurity, forcing tens of millions of U.S. families to make impossible choices between food and other essentials, it would be mean-spirited and shameful for Congress to cut the SNAP benefits moms and families rely on; and it also would be damaging to our economy.

This bill, which would force local sheriffs to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and, in doing so, support the deportation pipeline, is bad for our families, our communities, our state, and our economy. The harm it would cause is immense.
