Senate Democrats refused to move ahead with a spending bill needed to keep the Department of Homeland Security running because it lacked limits they have demanded on federal immigration agents.
Mind you “limits” don’t mean much; ICE and the Border Patrol are happy to do illegal things and ignore courts. The entire current staff of both needs to be prosecuted.
Pretty meaningless long-term, unless they can somehow get BACK all the vast funds ICE has already secured.
It’s not meaningless. The more funding they get the more harm they can do. Keeping the funding level high instead of astronomical will mean fewer Americans will be subject to state-sanctioned violence.
But I do agree that those funds should be clawed back as soon as possible.
That said I expect them to capitulate like they always do. But we’ll see.
