ICE funding and surge across the nation set up Schumer for more shutdown pain By John Bowden

Republicans in the House and some in the Senate have indicated clear opposition to some of those demands. Some progressives, however, are urging their congressional leaders to refuse to fund ICE at all, and many want tougher reforms to the agency.

“Short of Kristi Noem’s ICE leaving Minnesota, I’m not voting for a damn penny for ICE,” Rep. Angie Craig, a Minnesota congresswoman and candidate in the state’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary, told The Independent on Tuesday.

“They need to stop profiling our neighbors. They need to take off the mask. They need to properly identify themselves. They need to have judicial warrants before they arrest people,” she said. “Until that kind of shit stops. I won't vote for a damn penny.”

On the Sunday show circuit this past weekend, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries attempted to paint the Democrats as unified around the issue of ICE reforms as it pertained to voting for a DHS funding package. But it’s clear from reporting of Democratic caucus meetings and comments from House Democrats that how steep those reforms must be remains an open question.

“Block ICE funding or quit your job you useless fool,” the progressive group Justice Democrats tweeted at Schumer last month.

One of those Democrats is Graham Platner, the candidate leading in fundraising and polling over Maine’s incumbent governor, Janet Mills, in the race to challenge Incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins for her seat in November. Platner has attacked both Schumer and Jeffries on social media in recent days over their demands for DHS funding talks.

1. Zero compromise

We'll just murder only 3 people per week, great compromise. We will turn off our voters if we make concessions.
