Democrat US Senator Chuck Schumer says Congressional Democrats are refusing to vote to fund the Department Homeland Security. The senator says, that’s because of the incidents involving ICE in Minneapolis.
From CBS News: “What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling —and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE,” Schumer said in a statement. “I will vote no. Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.”
