Republicans in the US Senate indicated Sunday that they planned to move ahead this week with government funding legislation that includes $10 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a federal agent gunned down intensive-care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a killing captured on video from multiple angles.
“My support for funding ICE remains the same,” declared Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), a sentiment echoed by other GOP lawmakers ahead of votes on a package of six government appropriations bills approved by the US House last week.
“We’re not defunding ICE,” said Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) after the horrific shooting of Pretti. “Live with it.”
The House passed this bill last week. Unsurprisingly, they got the support of exactly the number of Democrats they needed for it to pass.
And Schumer will make sure it gets at least as many as needed in the Senate too.
You have to wonder how many people actually do this back then so they can have firearms still since certain left removes it. In way makes sense if they do it for personal protection still doesn’t excuse it but it makes sense unfortunately
