Senate Elites Jet Off on Vacation While Child Sex Trafficking Units Go Unfunded [WATCH]

Rep. Byron Donalds criticized the U.S. Senate over its handling of Department of Homeland Security funding, arguing that lawmakers failed to support critical programs within Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including efforts targeting child sex trafficking.

Donalds said frustration is growing among House Republicans over the Senate’s approach, particularly regarding what he described as omissions in the funding package.

“Well, I think right now there’s a lot of members, obviously house bucklers members, but a lot of other Republican members who are furious about this,” Donalds said.

He pointed to a specific concern involving ICE operations.

“Part of what was not funded was the portion of ice that does child sex trafficking investigations,” Donalds said.

He added, “So the United States Senate thought it was okay to not fund a part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement that investigates child sex trafficking. That’s nuts.”

Donalds said he and several colleagues oppose the current package and are calling for revisions. “So I’m a no,” he said.

“A lot of my colleagues are no that needs to be amended back into the package and sent back to the Senate.”

He emphasized that the Senate should return to Washington to address the issue, regardless of prior commitments.

“I don’t care that they have a two week vacation if they’re supposed to go on,” Donalds said.

He continued, “I don’t care that they’ve had codes scheduled. I don’t care if they got fundraisers scheduled. They got to do their job.”

Donalds argued that the legislation should be revised and resubmitted for consideration.

“I think we should amend it, send it back over there for them to take up and deal with,” he said.

He also accused Senate Democrats of delaying action for political reasons.

“If the Democrats decide that they want to continue to leave the Department of Homeland Security unfunded because they’re trying to play political games and they’re not going to fund the part of ice that investigates child sex trafficking, come on, like, what are we even doing at this point?” Donalds said.
