An absolute must.
Will someone please offer an amendment to the DHS appropriations bill in the Senate forbidding ICE from getting within a mile of a polling place or ballot drop box within 60 days of an election? Otherwise, we can expect ICE to target Hispanic voters in November.
In other words:
There will be a broad bipartisan vote on the other appropriations bills left, and a separate vote along party lines on DHS. Jeffries can't stop it. The action is in the Senate.
