When Chuck Schumer released a brief list of Senate Democratic demands for reforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of his maneuvers just prior to the beginning of a partial government shutdown last week, he had the short-term tactical goal of looking both tough and reasonable. For the moment, it placated the Democrats, who wanted an all-out fight to radically change or even abolish ICE, while holding out the prospect of negotiations with Republicans if they agreed to separate Department of Homeland Security appropriations from the rest of a giant spending package. The gambit served its original purpose, but Schumer’s demands didn’t go far enough for many Democrats, particularly in the House.
So now, with the federal government reopened and the clock ticking down on a stopgap spending bill for DHS, congressional Democrats are trying to get on the same page about ICE. And while many, particularly in the House, probably wouldn’t back any “reforms” for an agency they consider beyond the pale, Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have put out a new list of demands that are sure to be objectionable to most Republicans.
This list adds to Schumer’s original demands several of particular significance:
Protect Sensitive Locations – Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc. …
Stop Racial Profiling – Prohibit DHS officers from conducting stops, questioning and searches based on an individual’s presence at certain locations, their job, their spoken language and accent or their race and ethnicity. …
Body Cameras for Accountability, Not Tracking – Prohibit tracking, creating or maintaining databases of individuals participating in First Amendment activities.
For dessert, Jeffries and Schumer suggest “ramping down the surge in Minnesota” and firing...

Whose gonna look like a fool after this one.
Dejavu all over again.
SURE WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD FIRE SCHUMER
ANY ILLEGALS WORKING AT HIS RESIDENCE???
” abolish ICE “
Meaning abolishing borders.
That means the real goal is to abolish the nation.
Believe Ronnie Raygun had a comment on that.
Trump’s “goons.” Clearly unbiased article.
If ICE sees Somalis, they should arrest and deport them!
I don’t care how much Lutheran Social Services would scream about doing this! (I may still have friends in Lutheran Social Services, but I do not support their importing Somali savages into the USA!)
Here’s some crazy trivia.... the Republicans actually won the Senate and House a little over a year ago!
Do it Dems. Shut down ALL air flights again. No FEMA. No Secret Service for you arrogant jerks.
I remember that elections have consequences.
Illegals committing crimes are good talking points for MAGA candidates running for office. Show pictures of victims of rape, murders, etc. Then show pictures of arrested suspects . Then show clear photos of demonstrators that tried to stop the Federal agents. Then show the picture of the liberal running for office and stating his position on the Federal agents doing their job.
Who is paying for these protests and opposition? At the end of the day, WE ARE.
I may only secretly wish for someone’s end but I openly and heartily look forward to their obituary. Can’t be soon enough.
There is always a willing buffoon replacement for the likes of Schumer though.

“Under the 2025 law, ICE has a $75 billion supplement that it can take as long as four years to spend, along with its base budget of around $10 billion. If the agency spends that money at a steady pace and current funding levels continue, it would have nearly $29 billion on hand each year. That essentially triples ICE’s total budget from recent years.”
“And the One Big Beautiful Bill Act also allocates $45 billion for ICE to expand its immigration detention system — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said last June that the agency will be able to hold up to 100,000 people in custody daily.”
“As of Nov. 30, 65,735 people were held in immigration detention, according to the data tracking project Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.”

That was an opinion piece right? I seem to remember Ed Kilgore and other leftist crap like that.
We need Bessent to step it up and stop funds to the fraud grifters!
That might encourage more self deportation than Immigration Control agents.
“Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.”
So the illegal invaders will know exactly where to hide.
complete BS
ICE got countless billions in the big beautiful bill, more than enough to operate way past Trumps term.
Ice won’t shutdown but TSA and Coast Guard won’t be paid
