Instead there’s DHS funding going through Congress which could give Congress leverage to restrict ICE. To be clear ICE will still operate past the funding deadline. But Congress can create limits like mandating allowing states to investigate these crimes. Restrict who can carry firearms.
Write your senators and ask them to block DHS funding
- dragontamer 9mo agoI completely forgot about the potential government shutdown this week, and how this killing would affect it....
- Tadpole9181 9mo agoThey passed the DHS funding. The day ICE executes a man in broad daylight by blowing his brains out from point-blank, they get an extra $10,000,000,000 in funding. America is a failed nation.
- softwaredoug 9mo agoDid the Senate pass it? I think just the House did.
- Tadpole9181 9mo agoIt's a simple majority and Republicans have 53 votes without defects. Every single Republican voted for it in Congress, so clearly today changes nothing at all. And 7 democrats even voted alongside them.
- valleyer 9mo agoNo, this bill would be subject to the filibuster (since it's not a reconciliation bill under the Budget Act), so it's not a simple majority.
