ICE is currently operating under funding that only passed with Dem votes, given with a wink and a nod from Schumer. That funding expires on Jan 30 and will not be extended without Dem votes.
I don't think "don't fund ICE" is an unreasonable thing to demand of Democratic senators right now.

Tim's right and didn't even get to the 'using Congress to cover up the biggest pedophile ring in history with our President at the top' part of all this. The American people are being ruled by murdererous pedos. The administration is using your hard earned tax money to kill random Venezuelans
You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

If you need proof that the media is more responsible for Trump than the MAGA zealots, look at it this way:
Trump came down that escalator in 2015 and started shouting FAKE NEWS almost immediately. Did the press take him to task and bury him? Nope. They bent over and now they work for him. Losers

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
