Democratic leaders demanding standards that all police and sheriffs in the country follow isn't 'caving'

13. we don't actually have a bill

...and the consequences are as with any violation of the law.

What do local police and sheriffs do when their officers violate regulations proscribed by congressional legislation? That's the regime that's being proposed for ICE and DHS, no more no less.

You should recognize that this isn't Democratic legislation, it's a list of demands we expect republicans to adopt.

And recognizing that doing nothing is a failure on behalf of the Americans we're trying to defend with this negotiation effort with the republican majority.

Why represent this as a Democratic initative to a bill that Democrats control? No one should believe that effort would have any resemblance to this political effort to get the votes of a handful of republicans and the signature of trump.

Do any of the critics of this know how to achieve that political success; not just promote their own expectations which likely no republican we expect to vote on these demands shares?

Or would the critics rather just fight and not achieve any protections?
