This bill would abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 90 days after it becomes law. Starting on the day it becomes law, no federal money could be used to carry out the duties assigned to the ICE Director. Any unspent money already given to the ICE Director would be canceled, and ICE's other assets and liabilities would be transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security. The bill also lists findings by Congress describing specific ICE enforcement actions and deaths in detention.
