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.”
Oh man, they murdered again! I thought they had enough money. We need to give them more money. I give all my money to my wife and she never murders me. So that works.
Oh my mistake, no murders yet. That’s for Fridays. I just farted, I thought it was a murder. Silly me. Its just two murders that we all remember and many more we already forgot about. What’s another hundred?
