Kelly to vote against funding Homeland Security
Sen. Mark Kelly cites repeated fatal shootings and constitutional violations by DHS and ICE, promoting a bill to limit force and require body cameras, as reasons to oppose the budget.
- On January 28, 2026, Senator Mark Kelly, D-Arizona announced he will vote no on the Department of Homeland Security budget this week during a Senate floor speech, citing agency conduct concerns.
- Kelly pointed to fatal federal shootings including Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and Renee Good in Minnesota, plus recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at a Phoenix sports bar and a drive-by spraying video.
- Kelly promoted his Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act, co-sponsored by Sen. Ruben Gallego, which limits use of force and firearms by immigration agents and restricts tear gas, flash-bang grenades, pepper balls, requires body cameras, and limits face masks.
- Kelly argued that two Americans were killed by federal actions and accused the administration of lying and slandering victims, demanding removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller for lost public trust.
- Kelly urged senators to demand reforms and used his bill as a vehicle for change, while The Center Square reported no comment from DHS or the White House Wednesday, and Vice President JD Vance addressed related issues earlier.
