SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment tried to take back money previously set aside for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and stop specific changes to the Medicaid program. Because it did not receive enough votes, the original funding levels and Medicaid rules remain in place as they were written in the larger funding law.
§ 04
