A group of around 10 Senate Democrats is coalescing around a list of demands for changes at DHS.

They have drawn the line in the sand!

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) highlighted that a government shutdown could “easily” be avoided if President Trump chose to remove the contentious DHS funding and have a stand-alone debate on ICE reforms.

In the wake of yet another fatal federal shooting in Minneapolis, Senator Chris Murphy pulled back the curtain on what is really driving the Trump administration’s ICE escalation. Guess what? It has nothing to do with public safety. They apparently want to commit voter fraud.

"1. ICE must leave Minneapolis. 2. Congress should not fund this version of ICE - that is seeking confirmation, chaos and dystopia."

"I'm not worried about the Senate," House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) told reporters.

A "budget without any constraints on DHS isn't likely to get a lot of Democratic votes."
