NO. @democrats.senate.gov Unacceptable. Full stop.
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.

Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

Remember when Trump demanded the petroleum industry give $1B to his campaign fund?
You'll never guess how that worked out.
