Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and Homeland Security, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Abolish ICE Act would eliminate the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, effective 90 days after the bill's enactment. The legislation immediately cuts off all federal funding for ICE operations and transfers any remaining assets to the Department of Homeland Security. The bill's sponsors argue that ICE has overstepped its authority, citing incidents involving deaths of civilians, mass arrests of non-criminal immigrants, and poor detention conditions in 2025, while contending the agency is "not bound by the rule of law" and past reform. If enacted, other federal agencies would presumably assume immigration and customs enforcement responsibilities currently handled by ICE, though the bill does not specify which agencies would take on these functions or provide alternative funding mechanisms for transferred duties.
