On Thursday, Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto stopped by the 2 News Nevada studio.

During our sit-down with her, the U.S. House of Representatives was voting on some final funding measures.

All were passed, including the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, sponsored by Nevada Congressman Mark Amodei.

It narrowly passed 220-207, with many Democrats, including Las Vegas Representatives Steve Horsford and Susie Lee, voting against it, citing ICE funding.

Senator Cortez Masto says she thinks ICE gets too much funding and does not like what the agency has been doing.

"This ICE enforcement is over the top," she said. "It's unreasonable. It is too aggressive.

Included in that bill is about $20 million for ICE agents to wear body-worn cameras. Cortez Masto does think it's a great idea.

"Not only do I like it, when I was Attorney General and even after that, when I worked in our system of higher education, I supported it."

In regard to how she will vote on the measure, she said it's too soon to tell and needs to see the complete bill text.

"We're looking at it," the Senator said. "My team and I are looking at it because, as it comes over the Senate side, it's a little different. It's going to be coming over, my full understanding as a full package. It is not going to be separated out like you see on the House side."

The results were not official until after Cortez Masto left.

However, the Senator has introduced legislation to redirect 88 percent of ICE funding from the Big Beautiful Bill.

"So, part of this for me is let's take that excess money that the Republicans gave them and give it to our local law enforcement," the Senator said. "Give it to our police officers who believe in community policing."

The legislation is looking to take $75 billion that the BBB appropriated for ICE and use it to train about 200,000 local officers across the country.

Remember the uproar about keeping mail processing in Reno and not moving it to Sacramento? Well, Masto has a bipartisan bill that's looking to give more control to the states by requiring the Postmaster General to go through multiple channels.

"He has to come to Congress and say, 'here's what I'm thinking,' and see the impact it has on our members of Congress and have us weigh in. And then most importantly, he has to go to the community and explain why this is a business decision that will work for this community."

Cortez Masto says she's also looking to undo more from the BBB. This one touches on energy tax credits.

"We know if you have an energy efficient homes, it's going to lower your energy costs, and if you are willing to put an investment in that, then you should get a tax credit," the senator said. "So, what my legislation does is bring those tax credits back."

The bill language for that has not been formally introduced, and the bill text should be available next week.
