Today’s Senate vote is an important first step toward unifying Democrats against the escalating violence carried out by ICE and Border Patrol in our communities. Republicans don’t have the votes to jam through this toxic DHS bill.

The obvious path forward is to pull DHS out of the broader appropriations package, pass the remaining five bills, and get to work totally remaking the DHS bill to stop this terror and lawlessness. Republicans need to come to the table.

And Democrats must ensure they do not settle for anything less than ending the reckless operation in Minnesota and pulling ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and the rest of our communities, ending family detentions, ending arrests without warrants, and full cooperation…

…with an independent investigation into the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We need justice, accountability, and freedom from this oppression. To be extremely clear, any shutdown of any federal agency is due solely to the inaction and cruelty of Republicans.
