Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

If you want to stop this one piece of lawlessness, abolish bounties per arrest and immunity from committing heinous crimes against Americans and immigrants. Imagine there are crimes going on each hour at those for profit camps.

You’ll cave. Dems always do. You and Jeffries, please resign. We need fighters, not weak institutionalist’s w no clue how to fight Trump’s murderous criminal regime. I’m sure you’ll write another Susan Collins statement then roll over to Trump🖕

Hey Chuck, no one believes you, because you've said this over and over and you shut down the government for 40 days only to capitulate and leave Americans without affordable healthcare while they watch people kidnapped and executed on the street. NEW LEADERSHIP NOW.

Glad it only took murdering people in cold blood and kidnapping 2 year olds, for you to finally do your job! Shut this authoritarian dictator and congress down, or the entire country will strike and do it ourselves. Do your job!!! Watch this video, hear the screams www.reddit.com/r/50501/s/U2...

Fantastic - prove it. Americans are done with empty speeches, empty social media posts, and strongly worded letters. That is not what you are getting paid for. Don't back down this time.

It would be an insult to this country, its flag and the constitutional foundations which it represents, to provide any further support to the DHS and their mad assault upon WE THE PEOPLE. NOEM MUST GO.

Just another of Cuck Schumer's brilliant strategies..... "Let's pretend we are going to do something AFTER the atrocity is committed and then we will eventually cave in"....

You asked for these jobs, yet you act powerless. You aren’t. Congressional minorities have tools: impeachment, legislation, procedural obstruction, denying unanimous consent, quorum disruption. Use them. All of them. Even the ones that will fail. What we have now is not opposition, it’s commentary.

Stop lying, you know damn well you and your Surrender Caucus will vote to fund this agency next week. You've provided the votes since Jan. 2025 despite claims to "fight"

You are saying that YOU WILL VOTE NO, you’d better make sure that you don’t whip up enough votes to get it through- like you did last time, while YOU VOTED NO. I’M ONTO YOU, CHUCK… it’s a shame everyone isn’t onto your games.

It’s sad that it took another person’s life to get you to do the right thing, chuck. And by the way, I’ll believe it when I see it. You can’t be trusted, none of you can be trusted. Not a single one.

This is the bare minimum. You are so useless and unfit for your job that people are shocked when you commit to doing the absolute bare minimum... We need more action from our democratic leaders.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

That’s a start. You have been in politics a long time. It’s time to call in the old time wink & nod deals & do something way strong than this. This cannot stand we have a traitor & his most loyal traitor friends in office. Congress must rise to the challenge.

I agree 100%. Let's stay on his ass about keeping his promise until it's done. (202) 224-6542 (DC office) Press 3 to leave a voice message Press 4 to *try to* talk to a live person, but usually it sends you to voicemail after 3 rings

Masked federal officers killed two American citizens. Both times they fired with clear lethal intent. That act alone fractures the social contract. And a government that then unequivocally defends those killings cannot credibly claim the legitimacy it depends on. And all who want to know, know.

This is the bare minimum, Chuck. But it’s a start. We need an explicit commitment from you that when Democrats return to power in 2026 that you will vote to abolish ICE. No money to any Democrat that can’t make that commitment.

Your words mean nothing, just your actions and you've shown repeatedly you have no spine. I hope you're being truthful and honest, but I have no faith in you or your leadership. The sooner you step aside the better for everyone.

Shut this f***g country down. We are under siege from within and it needs to stop NOW! Stop tiptoeing around the fact that the “president” is a demented lunatic who has surrounded himself with evil people who take joy in torturing and killing citizens.

You & the other dems have lied to us before & caved to the regime. Why should any American consider dems to be anything other than Trump's bitches? YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN YOUR WORDS! If congress doesn't stop this regime soon, they too will be held responsible for every murder ICE commits.

Yeah…. We’ve heard this pathetic shit before. Your lack of leadership is the very reason Cheeto $hitler got funding for his fascist goon squads, in the first place. So bear witness to your original sin…

It’s on the line Senator Schumer. The ICE goons are out of control and if they continue to murder Americans, there’s going to be civil unrest on a scale not seen before. ICE needs to be defunded. Period.

They can't stop it. The big bill already gives DHS ICE money. They just are going to vote not to increase the money that the House voted for. Even if the Dems hadn't voted for it, it would have passed.

We’ve been here before Chuck. How long till your gang of “centrists” buck your leadership side with republicans and pass it? Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

Do not give an inch and MAKE NOISE. Drown out all the regime's propaganda. You have failed at this catastrophically so far, and people are dead because of it, but maybe today you'll wake up. Huh, Chuck?

A good start. We want more than “common sense reforms” though. Abolish ICE! And if not that, strip it down to the bones. No armed ICE agents in the streets, independent oversight of every arrest action in advance. Don’t give in!

You better mean that cuz we are all a bit tired of doing all the fighting including folks being murdered while you sit pretty in your little office. When they finally come for you or your family will you then care cuz we care about our fellow citizens.

That’s the weakest solution you could possibly offer. I know you’re old and they might be dangling, but please find your balls, Chuck.

If you read his statement again, it says “I will vote no” The last time he voted no, he whipped eight YES votes from Democrats that are not up for reelection or are leaving. So he technically voted no, but really he got it through purposefully. He cannot be trusted, he will still get it to yes

He means HE will vote no like he did last time, you know, the time where he whipped eight YES votes in order to get it through, eight votes of people that are not up or are leaving. He is corrupt as they come and should not be trusted, you watch, he will whip the votes to get it through.

I trust the democrats will be the same spineless disappointment they've always been. Time to replace the dinosaurs and fossils in Congress who made a career out of obstructing progress.

Yes, stop funding DHS. Abolish ICE. Create **intensive** oversight for CBP. Establish common sense immigration policy that includes due process and does not include murder.

Get Republicans on record as to why a rogue agency staffed with unqualified, untrained criminals needs funding. Send it back to the House and let them debate the need to have death squads roving America’s streets.

It is now time for you and all other elected Democrats and Independents to come to the aid our our country. Choose #JUSTICE4ALL with no hidden backdoor agreements. Stop I.C.E. Use your CHECK AND BALANCE to fix our country.

Y'all always talk about "common sense reforms" but those never work. You just give them more money to continue terrorizing people. You need to abolish and prosecute ICE!

As a leader, it is not enough to say, "I will vote no". Not only should no Democrats vote for funding ICE, but you should also convince some of the Republicans not to vote for funding ICE!

We need to abolish ICE totally. There is no retraining, no rebuilding. Some Dems are calling for reform. WTF??? Who will oversee them to make sure they are cooperating?? Take away their billions of dollars and give us healthcare. They are President Dirty Old Man's gestapo.

7 dems in the house voted to fund this rogue government agency last week. Your Surrender Caucus will vote to fund it next week. It is terrifying that the only thing standing between us & an authoritarian government is a weak, ineffective pussy and your Jo Jo Rabbit Caucus.

Oh, I just reread your statement “I will vote no” you mean when you voted no on the last funding bill but you would let eight Democrats that worn up for a reelection or we’re leaving vote yes so it could pass?! that kind of voting no?!! Good god, you are evil

Do not not doubt me for a second when I say if you don’t shut down the DHS and ICE budget this time around, we will not just vote you out, we will stop the economy by holding our wallets instead of spending freely. Under no uncertain terms, we do not want a deal.

Thank you for taking a stand. In addition to other demands, please demand access to the detention facilities that members of Congress have been denied entry to. Congress needs to be able to get inside and conduct oversight before any funds can be appropriated.

jesus fucking christ, there are no common sense reforms for the secretive police force that was cobbled together while everyone was reactive to 9-11. which I seem to recall was an Intelligence failure. that administration also lied to us to drag us into a war. why the fuck do we need to keep ICE?

Don’t worry. Schumer is working hard to get “firm commitments” from Republicans that in 6 months a committee will be formed to discuss some reform measures, 20% of which will be put into place and have zero effect. And it will take 10 years.

Jeffries did nothing to unite the house on voting against ICE funding. You MUST stop it in the senate. We have death squads roaming our streets with the approval of this fascist government. This, more than food prices, is the issue of our time. Fight for the US.

Not good enough, abolish ICE! They are easily weaponized, lawless and violate court orders. They are caging immigrants without sufficient food or medical care, raping their captors, using children as bait and now they're killing American citizens. You can't salvage evil. Abolish!

And what exactly, short of dismantling the operation, punishing its leaders for condoning & authorizing the violating of the Constitution, and passing legislation to prevent the same abuses in the future, would sufficiently "rein it in?"

47 days of training ICE gets down from six months and some have felony convictions. These are mercenaries not real federal officers. Reckless, uncoordinated and dangerous! They murdered two people and no accountability. No funding killers! Speak up! #AlexJeffreyPretti

Finally. ICE has been murdering people for months, in and out of captivity. It only took two white people murdered, that we know of, the second one one a man, for you to change your tune. #shameful. The world waits to see if you will follow through or TACO your way out of it.

Burn the rule book, Chuck. When McConnell refused to hold a vote for Merrick Garland, that was your biggest red flag. You have failed us for years ago to protect your seat. That makes you no better than your Republican colleagues. You are not a capable leader. Please step aside.

There are no "common sense reforms". ICE has always been fundamentally racist and abusive. Now, under the direction of the psychopaths in the Trump admin, it's even worse. ICE has to go. Miller has to go. Noem has to go. Anything less and you've failed to address the reality of the situation.

And then he'll write a stern letter to someone and claim that's all the Dems can do. Schumer is a tool for the oligarchy. Don't ever forget that. Weird how the GOP can obstruct the Dems anytime they wanted when the Dems were in power, but the Dems can't do the same now. Why do you think that is?

@schumer.senate.gov : stop saying “REIN IN” about Trump’s GESTAPO, Senator Schumer, and start saying “ABOLISH ICE”. That is the moderate position. THEN move to PROSECUTE ICE CRIMINALS. That is the progressive Democratic position Senator. LEAD, or STEP DOWN.

There's no "common sense." Stop engaging with fascists who are LAUGHING all the way to the bank. Stand with the citizens. Better yet, FALL BEHIND leaders with more relevant skill sets for THIS moment. Like Biden, you're TOO slow. Is saving FACE more important than saving your COUNTRY? #BetterDems

Those "reforms" you mention were total bs. Collaborationist fluffing so good riddance. The only reason you're pretending to force DHS funding removal NOW is the insane amount of backlash you're getting for being soooo fucking weak. Seriously, we see you and we HATE what we see.

Wow even Neville Chamberlain can read the room. 24 hours ago you were just going to roll over and vote for it though, weren’t you? Why’d the house go if there was any doubt? Don’t get me wrong it’s the right thing to do and its appreciated. Was also the right thing to do 24 hours ago, tho.

Defund ICE, shut it all down until Trump listens and changes. This was murder plain and simple on live TV. Remember, Trump did say he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not get caught. Elephant BS.

Will you whip your caucus hard to also vote no or just play kabuki by voting no but quietly letting others vote yes? The later is what many pro-democracy Dems fear you will do.

I implore you to assure that your colleagues REJECT the DHS appropriations bill. Passing it = complicity with what ICE & CBP are doing on American streets. Passing it = co-signing on murdering peaceful protesters and arresting 5-year-olds wearing bunny hats and Spider-Man backpacks. #ICE

Noem must stop lying and step down. She's committing obstruction bsky.app/profile/josh...

JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This administration must be impeached and removed under congress’s power of impeachment; An important check on the Executive recognized by the Framers as a crucial tool for holding government officers accountable for violations of the law and abuses of power. WE DEMAND TRUMP IMPEACHED AND REMOVED

Your stance should be to ABOLISH ICE!! ARREST KRISTI NOEM!! ARREST TRUMP!! ARREST ROSS!! And CRIMINALIZE MAGA!!! These people are SCUM! No more “benefit of the doubt”, no more forgiveness, these people deserve what’s coming!!

Whip this vote. No reform to ICE & DHS is sufficient — the horrors & incompetence that many of us were concerned abt when DHS was created in the post 9/11 brain fog have come true.

Put forward articles of impeachment for Noem & trial/jail for all ICE/DHS criminals ; propose reforms to the mess that is DHS & its current component agencies to put the challenge to the GOP & give us a vision for a better future.

If I was a journalist in America today? One that hadn’t been indoctrinated into the fascist MAGA cult…. If I was that journalist & I had a family? I would send them to Canada NOW & request political asylum You too Unless, you want stay in the fight with the rest of us Patriots? TheRealZMAN 🔥🍋

Read the room, Chuck. ICE needs to be abolished. Replace it with something humane. It, like you, is past its sell-by date. Even your imaginary family of Trump voters on Long Island think ICE should be shut down.

Please stick to your guns, do not vote for any more funding for Homeland Security and ICE. Require the firing of miller, noem, and bondi

THIS IS A MOMENT IN TIME WE WILL ALL BE REMEMBERED FOR! WHAT DID YOU DO! DHS MUST BE REBUILT, NOT A SLAP ON THE HAND! NO MORE FUNDING, PUPPY KILLER NOEM FIRED, PAY HOMAN IN CASH TO RESIGN, DUMBEST PATEL FIRED, MILLER DUMPED. CHIEF PSYCHOPATH IMPEACHED. NOW! A REAL IMMIGRATION REFORM PACKAGE.

Hey. Maybe whip your party and promise actual consequences for breaking rank. Short of that, you are complicit. You are the leader. You don't just get to vote no and wash your hands of it. Your caucus needs to be in lock step or you will have once again failed.

Good god you suck at this. Every time you have a chance to stand up to Donald Trump you end up getting his ball bag dragged across your forehead again. It's embarrassing.
