Trump administration to tap FEMA account to step up migrant deportations; House Dems say no way.
The Trump administration told Congress recently that it plans to start shuffling $271 million around in its Homeland Security budget so that it can cover the cost of detaining and transporting more undocumented migrants, as well as set up immigration courtrooms closer to the border to quickly process incoming asylum seekers.
Congressional Democrats signaled they would try to block it. Democrats oppose Trump's hard line immigration policies, which have stepped up the focus on deporting families living illegally inside the U.S. "Congress appropriated these funds to meet the American peoples' priorities and I strongly oppose this effort to undermine our constitutional authority," he said in a statement.
