Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries released a list of policies to impose “guardrails” on DHS on Wednesday night, including by restricting immigration agents from wearing masks and requiring them to display an ID and use body cameras. The Democrats also demanded agents be banned from entering private property without judicial warrants, along with requiring agents to verify that someone is not a U.S. citizen before holding them in immigration detention, among other things.
“The American people rightfully expect their elected representatives to take action to rein in ICE and ensure no more lives are lost. It is critical that we come together to impose common sense reforms and accountability measures that the American people are demanding,” Schumer and Jeffries wrote.
The Democrats also said there are steps the administration can take immediately to “show good faith,” including removing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem from her position and fully ramping down the immigration operation in Minneapolis.
Thune, a South Dakota Republican, called Democrats’ demands “unrealistic and unserious,” while saying they aren’t “even willing to engage in a negotiation and discussion to try and reach a result.”
“unrealistic and unserious”
- Don’t arrest citizens
- Get a warrant
- ID yourselves
- Don’t wear masks
How in hell are those unserious and unrealistic!?
Because they are the fascist party.
Why do we need to tell them not to do what they’re not supposed to do?
Especially as the first three are already current state of the law. Just that they simply ignore the law.
In other words, just following the law is a bridge too far for these demonic assholes.
Most of these demands are: follow the law. How does making another law fix that
I expect Schumer to fold, because he’s really good at doing that
They’ll offer money for netanyahu and he’ll do anything they want.
His real job is making sure we follow an “Israel First” policy.
I often find the maximalist leftists rather tiresome (online mostly and very few IRL) even when I agree with them on nearly everything (often because they seem to reinforce and pile on with the same shit the reactionary centrists do when it comes to Murc’s Law type of stuff, often giving a huge assist to the right.) .
But when it comes to their reaction to Schumer, I fucking get it.
He might say that we are “aroused” in our response to him.
These republican senators are committing treason by proxy in continuing to allow these constitutional crimes to continue being perpetrated.
Why are democratic senators trying to make laws to keep the current ones from being broken?
Is it not time to defend the constitution as oath has blatantly been breached?
