Democrats just seem to want to keep ramping up the anti-ICE chaos.
Now, in the wake of the Border Patrol shooting on the streets of Minneapolis on Saturday, Democrats are saying they're not going to vote for the bill that includes Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding.
We already reported that there were likely to be issues.
In the wake of the shooting, some Senate Dems made announcements.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is a no.
Some of the eight Democrats who voted with Republicans to end the last shutdown also came out against the bill after the shooting, including Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV).
Then Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ramped things up in a statement he released, blaming President Donald Trump. He's saying they will not advance the appropriations bill if it includes DHS.
“What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling —and unacceptable in any American city. 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,”
.“Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.”
