After federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, in Minneapolis on Saturday, Senate Democrats say they will block a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which includes appropriations for the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
That doesn't need to be a bipartisan effort—the bill will not clear the Senate's 60-vote threshold without some Democrats supporting it—but it ought to be. Members of Congress from both parties should recognize the political and moral imperative here, and they should demand changes in both policy and leadership.
