Incensed House Democrats plan ICE funding war

Incensed House Democrats plan ICE funding war

    Andrew Solender


House Democrats, incensed at being repeatedly denied access to ICE facilities, are warming to the idea of using the appropriations process to force policy changes at the agency if they retake Congress.

Why it matters: ICE-focused protests and pressure from their grassroots are forcing Democrats to inch away from their instinctively defensive crouch on immigration. But there is internal division on how far to go.

    "You've got a situation where our base is demanding more and more of us every day," said one House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

    The lawmaker added that "a number of us have been told by constituents that we have to be willing to get shot" while trying to conduct oversight at ICE facilities and "be able to make news out of it."

    Many Democrats are still scarred by GOP attacks on the #AbolishICE movement and hesitant to take steps that appear to be aimed at dismantling or downsizing the agency.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

We can't just walk into the Capitol, so maybe we should quit funding it!

See how that works?

But if Dems really want a tour, just keep banging on the door and getting in the way. I'm sure they will enjoy their stay.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

ICE needs to haul ass on deportations before Jan, 2027, when new Congress gets sworn in.

I don’t know, if the democrats keep supporting illegals, and their destruction and rioting, over Americans and legal y may have a tougher time taking a majority, especially withnall those juicy sound bites and videos they have supplied for republican campaign ads.

Dims have to support these demographics as they can never win again if they do not.

Why leave it to chance?  Some GOP Congress bonehead might think it's a great idea to pass a Federal abortion ban in 2026.
