But yes, there are many things they can push for.

And if they have to compromise to get some Republican votes and, you know, a little more funding go ahead than they want, but in return, get some of these restrictions.

You can't just sit there and say, well, we have to keep the government open and it's a big appropriations bill and it's got a lot of some other stuff in it that we like.

And we're just going to go ahead and fund this agency that's doing these kinds of things.

I don't think that's I don't think personally it's acceptable.

I wouldn't vote for such a thing.

And I really think they could get a lot of support.

by insisting that this, that this not go ahead the way it is.

Totally.

And I would just add that, I mean, in a way, Chris Murphy maybe has done this even as could present his proposals as we are trying to make.

hold ICE to the standards we routinely hold all police forces to, right?

I mean, the things he's proposing are things that are, in fact, the procedures of police.

That's what's so appalling about this.

I mean, and again, the Kristi Noem reaction, no sense of, okay, we're going to take a look.

We're not going to comment until the investigation's underway.

It'll be independent.

We'll provide counseling to this person who killed someone, like any police force does if a police officer, unfortunately, gets in this kind of situation.

They don't even have a scintilla of that kind of attitude.

And so I think they can be pro-FBI, I mean, if they want, and pro, as you say, local police within reason and say, this is just totally different.
