Surveys show Americans are souring on Trump’s immigration crackdown, and Democrats are drawing a hard line on funding as they seek changes to rein in ICE and CBP.
Americans are souring on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, complicating an already messy dynamic on Capitol Hill as emboldened Democrats draw a hard line against another short-term funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security.
Just over four days until funding runs out, key members of the Senate Democratic Caucus say they won’t support another continuing resolution, or “CR,” to prevent a shutdown of DHS beginning this weekend.
“What ICE is doing is unconscionable, and it’s got to be reined in. I can’t, in good conscience, vote for it,” Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told NBC News. “I would feel complicit in what they are doing.”
Dems will cave… They all=ready caved 90% of the way. “Partial” Shut down? Should have never sold us out the first time around.
Hell, even the rule necessitating these biannual shutdown negotiations existing in the first place and never being repealed are the result of Dems caving to GOP demagoguery like they always do.
Yup. That is there so the poors don’t get too much representation in our democracy…
