On January 9th, 14 Republican senators voted to allocate $5.7 billion for refugee resettlement—despite Trump reducing refugee admissions to nearly zero. Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and 11 others funded Biden's refugee infrastructure while Trump's DHS begs for border security resources. Only Bill Hagerty voted no. This money could fund 19,000 deportation flights or 10,000 detention beds instead. The deadline is January 30th—call your senators NOW.
