The legislation included $64.4B for DHS, which oversees ICE.
Dems are negotiating with the GOP and White House to:
- ban masks
- mandate body cameras and visible identification
- end random sweeps
- require judicial warrants for stops and searches, and more.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.
