Cory Booker

I'm ticked off like Americans are.

They're saying I'm seeing my costs skyrocket.

I'm barely making ends meet.

And what is the Senate doing?

They're debating some stupid voter suppression bill as opposed to dealing with the war that's driving up my costs.

In a few years, we're going to be a majority brown country.

White people will not be the majority in the country anymore.

I favor getting rid of the filibuster.

I've been very clear.

I think we should eliminate the filibuster.

We must do more.

The tragic death of Renee Goode has brought into clear spotlight so many of the things the Trump administration is doing to make our communities less safe.

But one of the most alarming crises are issues of training and accountability standards for ICE officers.

cut the training down from five months to about a month and a half.

They have eliminated age requirements and are hiring recruits as young as 18 years old.

They're putting people into training before their background checks are even complete.

And so when you see people cut corners, people die.

I'm continuing to lead new legislation that will bring further high professional standards and accountability to ICE officials.

We must also set minimum training standards.

We must ban the hiring of anyone affiliated with hate groups.
