The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.
Schumer Remarks and Talkers on Democrats’ Plans to Address the Affordability Crisis as Trump and Republicans Send Costs Skyrocketing and Create Chaos in the Economy Unlike Republicans, Democrats are laser-focused on lowering costs for the American people and will roll out precisely how a Democratic majority will lower costs for everyday Americans, starting today with housing.

Asked if he's willing to shut down the government over ICE funding, Senator Cory Booker replies: "We had the longest government shutdown, and Democrats could not hold together to sustain that kind of pressure."
