Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Americans have consistently and overwhelmingly supported the ACA. We want healthcare to be available and affordable to all.

“In effect, Mr. Trump’s position is that Democrats must either support his plans to slash important public services, or else he will slash important public services. He is confronting Congress, and the American people, with a pair of bad options — and no alternatives.”

Government shutdowns hurt people, but Trump is getting exactly the number of Democratic votes he’s earned and deserves.

We’ve had nothing but chaos, cruelty, and revenge; time for a reset.

If things weren’t bad enough already, Republicans in control of Congress are shutting down the government.

Why? Because Donald Trump opposes making health care more affordable for millions of Americans.

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants.

JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

It’s decision time.

If we are going to fund the government, it should only be a government that respects our democracy, that isn’t corrupt, that doesn’t treat people and places that oppose President Trump as enemies, deserving of indictment or military deployment.

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"
