Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich raised concerns on Tuesday about a provision in the latest Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill, asking why Senate Republicans allowed a section that is “totally inappropriate.”
The Senate approved a funding deal Friday that excluded money for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol using unanimous consent, while the House later narrowly passed a stopgap bill funding all of DHS, including immigration enforcement, through late May. Speaking on “Kudlow,” Gingrich said the provision appears problematic.
