Fearing Trump Presidency, Democrats Seek Constraints on Executive Immigration Powers in Ukraine and Israel Funding Deal

  • 5 months ago
Democrats in Congress are seeking to place constraints on new immigration powers that are being negotiated as part of a deal to provide additional funding to Ukraine and Israel. They fear that expanded executive powers around areas like expedited removal or closing the border could be abused if a Republican like Donald Trump were to regain the presidency. Republicans want to give the president more discretion and mandates around cracking down on illegal immigration and asylum seekers.
