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.”
Yes, the Democrats plan to give ice the money also they just plan to act big mad about it.
This is because they and their donors are the super rich. Which is also who Trump, his circle and Republican donors are. So you see the problem.
Which is why Schumer, Jeffries and every corporate Democrat need to lose to progressives in their next primary.
