… Dem Leaders in the House and Senate released 10 things they are seeking in their negotiations with Republicans on DHS funding on immigration enforcement operations:

-Judicial warrant requirement
-No masks
-Require ID on officers
-Prohibit enforcement in schools/churches
-Prohibit race-based stops
-Implement use of force standards
-Allow states to investigate misbehavior
-Set detention standards
-Must wear body cameras
-Uniform standards

… Sen. Maj. Leader John Thune: “It’s totally unrealistic, their demand list went from 3 items to 10 items. It just shows you they’re not serious. There’s a bunch of stuff in there that’s a non-starter, and they know it. Maybe they had to put it in there to satisfy MoveOn or some of their left wing special interest groups.”

1. Do link to where anyone here said this was bad. Thanks.

2. All over Bluesky. Many OPs on DU

complaining that Schumer/Jeffries have caved. I'm sure you can find them with a brief scan of the site.

5. The complaints were about Schumer and Jeffries saying, before negotiations started, that it would be OK for ICE to wear

masks sometimes. Which was dumb, and moved the discussion from the murder of citizens in the street to when masks might be necessary. Thankfully, Murphy and DeLauro were able to walk that back and reiterate that masks have to go.

But this published list of negotiation points is a completely different subject, and I've seen nothing on DU resembling what you are saying. I've seen no one on DU saying this is bad. Apparently you have. So again please do provide links.

Otherwise, we'll have to assume this is YET AGAIN outrage at DUers about something that never happened on DU.

3. So...

Which ones are unreasonable?

4. This is what I'm asking

I'm seeing all over social media, including here, that Schumer/Jeffries have caved. I'm just not seeing that. Wonder why it's happening.

6. No one is saying any of them is unreasonable. The OP has provided a strawman.

8. I'm responding to this:

Sen. Maj. Leader John Thune: “It’s totally unrealistic, their demand list went from 3 items to 10 items. It just shows you they’re not serious. There’s a bunch of stuff in there that’s a non-starter, and they know it. Maybe they had to put it in there to satisfy MoveOn or some of their left wing special interest groups.”

Maybe I wasn’t clear. But thanks for assuming something else.

[Scrivener7]

9. Clearly I wasn't clear either. I wasn't saying your post was a strawman. I'm saying the OP implying

that people here are complaining about the published list of negotiation points is a strawman.

Sorry about the confusion. And yes, I agree with you. Thune is talking out of his ass and even his constituency wants these things.

[piddyprints]

10. Thank you for clarifying.

7. The only good thing about this is it puts the R's in a corner.

None of those things will change the culture of ICE if leadership stays the same.

11. Senate and House Democrats have just released their demanded changes to rein in ICE.

Keeping ICE from polling places is in this plan

13. Need to add hospitals

I saw something today where a doctor (surgeon) was cuffed for 20 minutes and a kid died

14. Couple of headlines that Dems "softened," "cave" on masks and everyone barks CAVE! CAVE! CAVE! CAVE! SCHUMER'S CAVE!

And just like that, the MSM, the corporate industrial oligarch-owned right-wing media complex is trustworthy and nice, holding mean old centrist Democratic leadership ( THEM ) feet to the fire for The People and Republicans. Play ball!

16. Bookmarking, mcar.. Mahalo!

18. If Thune doesn't like it then he can just fuck right off.

Far as I’m concerned. The lawlessness and the thuggery needs to stop here and now. Some arrests need to be made too for what has already happened.
