House Republicans cut funding for federal prosecutors, anti-terrorism efforts, and law enforcement agents
Today, Ken Calvert voted to advance a dangerous anti-law enforcement and anti-abortion funding bill to the House floor that will make communities less safe nationwide.
Calvert and his colleagues are making communities less safe by slashing critical federal funds – starting with defunding the FBI by $368 million and forcing the agency to fire thousands of workers. This bill, in total, would eliminate nearly $1 billion in funding from the Department of Justice, and force huge reductions in federal prosecutors and other personnel who fight violent crime and terrorism.
This extreme funding bill also furthers attacks on abortion rights by making it easier for state and local governments to pass local bans and restrictions, and robbing women who seek abortion care of protections from workplace discrimination.
Calvert wants to make America less safe and cannot be trusted to stand up for Californians in Congress.
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“With this latest attack on law enforcement, Ken Calvert continues to prove that he prioritizes himself and his far-right colleagues over Californians’ safety, and that’s why voters will send Calvert packing in November.”
