watching a lot of Democratic leadership that sometimes does not rise to the moment, at least making all the right sounds about holding out and not funding ICE. matched

And I think as Democrats, we need to be really, really disciplined about our messaging, pointing out that the only reason we might head to a government shutdown is merely because Republicans were unwilling to strip the DHS funding out of the larger bill. matched

We could not do this. matched

We could do that separately. matched

but it's Republicans that have brought us to this point just because they want to give ICE nine more billion dollars. matched

However, I've already started to hear things about how like, well, ICE is already funded for six years. matched

We've already funded ICE. matched

And so what does this really matter? matched

That's what law is for. matched

You can unfund organizations. matched

This country, we often pass funding measures that then later on get revisited and the money gets reallocated. matched

That's what laws are. matched

We enforce the most recent laws. matched

We can change them. matched

We can pull money back if need be. matched

And I think that that is a place, a position of institutional power matched

that does still very much exist, that the Democratic Party and Democrats in the Senate specifically need to hold the line on and need to use the bully pulpit of being a United States senator to be having this, to be saying this very plainly, frankly, the way I'm saying it, to the American people. matched

It's not a complicated situation, to be entirely honest. matched

If you can, you can discuss this. matched

An agency that murders American citizens in the street and steps all over Americans constitutional rights is not an agency that deserves a single dollar federal federal funding. matched
