A group of senators led by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has announced plans to introduce legislation that would target major banks that deny services to federal contractors working with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.<\/p>\n

Titled the Financial Defense of Industrial Contractors (FDIC) Act (pdf<\/a>), Sens. Rubio, Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in a Feb. 13 news release they hope the legislation would combat \u201cpolitical discrimination\u201d allegedly committed by six big U.S. banks against federal contractors.<\/p>\n

Cruz, meanwhile, said in a statement<\/a> that it is \u201cdeeply concerning\u201d to see the largest banks in the United States \u201ccaving to the radical lefts social agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
