Murphy: "I'm not endeavoring to fix every single problem that exists in DHS, but we should only vote for a bill that puts constraint on this lawlessness, that reforms the way they are endangering our citizens. So yes, Democrats are not going to vote to fund this version of DHS."

Unless “constraint” means abolishing DHS (a department that should never have existed) then the lawlessness will continue. We know it was DHS who was disappearing and documenting protesters in 2020, we know it’s DHS spying on American citizens since its inception. Democrats would have voted for

$64.4 billion a week ago, now they have a spine? It wasn’t until white citizens were executed that they turned a critical eye toward DHS. Their blood and the blood of everyone who has been raped, murdered, starved, deported or just plain treated inhumanely, is on their hands too.

Tear it to the ground and salt the earth. Start over. Nobody attached to the current DHS should ever have a role in law enforcement ever again.

He’s either so naïve, gaslighting us as most Dems do, stalling for whatever reason he thinks makes any sense(it doesn’t). The only thing he left out was the strongly worded letter. Maybe he’s handing that off to Chuck Schumer. It’s more Dems bullshit….You’re on your own, that’s the problem.

Ugh, Chris...as one of your constituents, that could have been worded a hell of a lot better. Woulda gone with this: "The only reforms DHS needs involves a wrecking ball and a Nuremberg style tribunal."

This guy is becoming a joke. Trying to have it both ways. Dhs will never be reformed and he knows it. Shut this shit down until civility comes back for good. We don’t need ice and border patrol killing and beating everyday people bc they supposedly voted against the king. Stfu or resign dipshit!

Respectfully Senator, I do not see this version of ICE as being redeemable or able to be reformed through legislation or creating additional rules for them to follow. They have become the corrupt private army of a corrupt, fascist administration. End ICE now. Defund it. Prosecute the lawbreakers.

Democrats should not vote to fund ANY version of DHS. But we all know these spineless weasels will roll over at the first opportunity. ACAB: All Congress Are Bastards.

Oh my God!! These Democrats are tone deaf! ICE cannot be reformed. It needs to be abolished. They are doing exactly what they are meant to do for Trump. And it’s gonna get worse. Trump wants Americans blood spilled on the streets. He wants more of it!

As a Minnesotan I am not looking for them to "reform the way they are endangering our citizens". I am looking for them to stop endangering us no matter who we are, citizens or non citizens they have no right to endanger us, ever. ICE cannot be reformed, it must be permanently abolished.

Well you already know Fetterman is voting for it. But again this is the stuff that Schumer should be organizing but he is pissing his pants in the corner trying to pretend this isn’t happening.

The only thing you should vote for is abolishing ICE and DHS. Also, hold the administration accountable for breaking the law regarding the release of the Epstein files. That's it. Total focus right there. Get it done.

Notice it's only about reforming enforcement. No changing the immigration system to not need ice. To allow path to citizenship ship. To clarify protections. The Dems have already lost.

Then work really hard to get Dems elected in overwhelming majorities at every level for at least thru 2038 Takes time to game out & craft legislation without loopholes & cover all the bases Then time to deal with court challenges, demands to restore, and normalize There is no magic wand

Would you like legislation to dissolve ICE & have those agents hired by CBP? Do you prevent that & shut out agents with integrity (ex: former agents speaking out)? How to handle pensions, benefits, disability? How to foresee future where it could be revived or turning another agency into a clone?

One of the reasons given by one of the Democrats was they didn't want to put their constituents through another government shutdown. It was the Democrats who buckled the last time. We had the Republicans on the ropes and the Democrats in Congress blinked.

'Reforms the way they're endangering us??' Seriously, Senator? That's the best you got? (And yeah, he's one of the better, but come on, man. Show some actual fucking *balls*. Christ.)

How abut those Dem in congress who voted to fund ICE. They need to go. NO DEM. shud fund ICE! They are a terrorist organization! I want to hear all are Democratic representatives state it!

Democrats either have to choose between the working class/we the people or continue to pander for more billionaires/multi-millionaires. SHUT IT DOWN. Shut everything down until you bring the GOP to its knees.

I mean, shit, america was happy to trade with Germany throughout the 1930s and carried on trading, even AFTER Germany and Italy declared war (YES THEY DID) on america, despite what the Waffen SS got up to. So, what's the problem with a little exuberance by the DHS, right ? It just needs a re-boot.

The only acceptable answer is not to fund DHS at all until ICE is abolished! Otherwise, move over for other senators that will work for the people.

You fucking coward! There is no reforming a white supremacist project to make it less white supremacist. DHS needs to be dismantled and abolished. All current and former agents and officals brought up on charges of crimes against humanity.

Doesn't matter how many of them are in Congress. They can't even bring themselves to *say* what ICE is doing is wrong...much less vote against it. They all need to be removed from office. The American people have had enough of feckless leadership.

Trump illegally fires people, imposes tariffs, cuts off Congress- approved funding, extorts bribes. That's a lot, but nobody died (not right away, amirite CDC/RFK?). But DHS is murderous, corrupt and (in their own judgement) unaccountable. It would be a dereliction not to cut them off.

Most Americans want the federal force that has killed American citizens to leave Minnesota now. Most Americans want to see investigations and prosecutions of the killers. Personally, I think investigations of the federal force by Congress is necessary, as are a few resignations, and no more funds.

Slow, incremental change is what stops fascism. It's been proven time and time again, from Spain to Argentina- negotiate, concede, make them respect you for your good faith, the Czechs will get used to it in time. Sliw and steady wins the race, no need for anything dramatic.
