Schumer and Jeffries Refuse to Back Growing Democratic Calls to Defund ICE

[bigtree]

59. what bill?

...what bill do you imagine the Democratic minority has the numbers and authority to even schedule out of a committee, much less add something to on their party's votes or initiative?

Most of the ICE funding is ALREADY in the budget bill, not appropriations.

What is this false dichotomy that you've set up here? The most they can accomplish in the present minority, outside of the myriad amendments they have offered already, is organize Democrats to vote against what the republicans schedule, as they have, repeatedly without a scrap of credit from any of their critics.

You're talking about them as if they hold the majority, in which no one should expect that they would do anything less if voters manage to make that happen.

Maybe it would be more clear if you told us what republican bill or initiative on ICE funding ANY Democrat is planning to vote for? They haven't voted for any so far, so this is a fantastical canard.

Maybe you can tell which party controls the rescission process right now, and what evidence you have that any Democratic majority budget under their leadershipo wouldn't try to rescind that funding?
