BIPARTISAN CAUCUS BLASTS H.R.1 AS ICE INTERIOR RAIDS SPLIT FAMILIES; 139,000 DEPORTED SO FAR

A bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, fresh off an Arizona border tour, urged a moderate plan that pairs stronger border security and asylum fixes with protections for longtime undocumented residents. Members criticized H.R.1’s emphasis on walls, detention capacity, and ICE/CBP hiring while interior raids break up families and divert focus from cartels. The article notes 139,000 deportations to date and cites stepped-up ICE operations like "Operation Midway Blitz" in Chicago.
