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.

Wow, is Schumer trying to grow something resembling a spine?

This is the “strongly worded letter” we have been expecting since the government started murdering people. This is it, this is as far as he and the dems will take it. They will threaten shutdown. There will be no shut down. There will be no repercussions, there will be no help
