Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Trump's 2025 Reconciliation Bill already gave ICE $45B, making detention deadlier. More money would only worsen the crisis.
