Fund Schools, Not ICE Act

The Fund Schools, Not ICE Act directs unspent funds originally allocated to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be transferred to the Department of Education for use in elementary and secondary school programs. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to sell eleven specific immigration detention warehouses that were purchased between January 1, 2026, and March 31, 2026. These measures aim to redirect financial resources from immigration enforcement toward educational initiatives while mandating the disposal of recently acquired detention facilities.
