So I have been and will continue to be pushing for amendments along these lines of just saying, like, let's have a baseline of medical resources available.

some semblance of medical care for key needs.
I'm trying to push forward on something that is about de-escalation trade.
I literally submitted that amendment before I even went back to Delaney Hall about how we can ensure that there's de-escalation trading for ICE and CBP after what we saw in Minnesota.
And every single Republican on the Homeland Security Committee voted against my amendment.
And then I went back to the lady and saw and experienced what I did.
So I'm pushing for it.
But again, this is something where we really need the American people to kind of come behind us on this.
The only times we've seen this administration back down
or pullback, has been when there's wide public outrage.
We saw that with Minnesota.
We see that actually just today.
It looks like we're seeing it when the Trump administration seems to be backing off that $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6th rioters.
I hope that's true, that they're backing off of that.
But, like, you know, that's what we really need is for us to say, like, you know, this cannot be what is happening in our country and to be able to try to stop it.
