Last week, we asked four Republican senators about a cost ceiling for funding Donald Trump’s deportation agenda. The GOP controlled House (which has the power of the purse in Congress) will surely rubber stamp any Trump-approved legislation that comes from the upper chamber. We didn’t get a chance to ask the new Minority Leader John Thune our questions about the senate’s role in Trump’s deportations, both in terms of funding them and protecting people from the inevitable excesses of their implementation. We’ll look to do that when they return next week from Thanksgiving break.
