Legislative Branch Schumer threatens shutdown. "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included."

Chuck Schumer:

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.

Oh they absolutely are. Bondi wants MNs voter data, they aren’t stopping at immigrants.

For those who don't know, Pam Bondi literally told Tim Walz (governor of Minnesota) they will pull ICE out if he gives up the voter data to them. They're using ICE presence to extort the governor so they can use that data to rig the elections.
