Story summary

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader for Democrats, declared on November 6, 2026, that his party would not allocate any funding towards the Trump administration's deportation efforts as they prepare to take control of the House following midterm election victories. During a press conference, Jeffries stated, "The American people clearly and decisively rejected MAGA extremism" and vowed that Democrats will not support what he termed "un-American policies." He emphasized that taxpayer dollars should be used to benefit Americans rather than fund what he described as violent deportation practices targeting immigrant communities.
