be united, one, on this effort to impeach Noem, and two, to ensure that we don't give a single dime more to ICE and Donald Trump's terror machine.
Because I think what everyone needs to understand, including in our caucus, and I think the folks on the ground understand, is that what Donald Trump is doing with ICE, this is not about funding immigration enforcement.
He's trying to fund his own paramilitary police force.
It's a national domestic police force that is only accountable to him.
And so we cannot give them another dime.
And it's not just about saying no on funding and holding the caucus together and being all in on impeaching, which we have to all be on.
We must also demand more.
We have to.
Part of this has to be demanding no more masks.
Body cameras on ICE agents, ensuring that they're removed from all of our cities, independent investigations.
And so it's good and it's important for us to say that we're going to abolish ICE, that we're going to fire Christian Elam.
But without demand of the Senate and ourselves, we're not going to actually make any progress.
And so, look, I agree.
We're all angry.
I am angry and pissed.
Every single Democratic member moving forward has to be united in ensuring that we get rid of this agency and that we fire Kristi Miller.
Look, a couple of things.
I want to respond to everything you said.
Number one, let me start that by saying that Hakeem Jeffries came out today strongly on the impeachment of Kristi Noem to start those proceedings.
He has absolutely, in my opinion, united this caucus in incredibly important moments.
