From a journalism and dissemination of information standpoint, I would agree there should be more out there about the ICE funding and its implications.
But from a political activism standpoint, I've been hearing even from groups that are explicitly concerned about ICE that it may be strategic to focus the public conversation on Medicaid and SNAP cuts. Those are the most universally unpopular parts of the bill, and even people who explicitly *like* the anti-immigrant stuff can be persuaded to oppose the bill as a whole by focusing on those instead. It is one big bill, after all.
