Hey @golden.house.gov, you know what "undermines public safety" and trust? You funding the secret police kidnapping, beating, and killing people based on their skin color, or for merely witnessing ICE's lawlessness.

DHS spending bill passed 220-207 7 Democrats voted in favor: Henry Cuellar Don Davis Laura Gilles Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Jared Golden Vicente Gonzalez Tom Suozzi Massie voted No Andy Harris didn't vote Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

Let me explain the math since it isn’t obvious to people who don’t work here. The total number of R votes on the DHS bill was 214. The total number of Rs on the war powers res when it goes down will be 217. They had more members coming, even if all Dems voted against the DHS bill it would’ve passed

What undermines public safety is state-funded, unaccountable policing, people being detained, beaten, or killed for their skin color or for witnessing ICE’s lawlessness.

Per Jay Kuo the amount of funding for ICE - $75 billion - was included in last year’s One Ugly Bill and does not require an additional appropriation. Highly unusual.
