So I guess my real question here is what principles are guiding you?
One, none of these roving patrols.
You can't just stop anybody on the street.
You can't just pick them up and not even tell them why they're picked up, put them in some dark place.
No access to a lawyer or a phone or anything else.
We're ready to sit down and negotiate, but it's got to be strong.
It's got to be tough.
It's got to rain in ice in very serious ways and end the violence.
And we hope our Republican colleagues will meet us on that.
Does Donald Trump need a copy of the Constitution?
What he's saying is outlandishly illegal.
The clock is ticking, the nation is waiting, and the abuses of ICE must come to an end.
In just an hour, the federal government will partially shut down.
If Republicans refuse to work with us to rein in ICE and to end the violence, they're telling the American people they're choosing to protect ICE.
over choosing to protect people's safety.
They're operating effectively outside the law.
Every day, every minute.
You recoil.
It's not America.
It's thugs roaming our streets.
