I am saddened and sickened that your fellow NY rep Tom Suozzi voted to fund ICE operations. His claim made online that: “I am voting for the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, not to expand ICE enforcement or add more agents, but to fund the core operations Americans rely on every day, FEMA disaster response, TSA security, Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard, passport processing, and other essential services.” may or may not be sincere, but we’ve seen budget plans go out the window when it comes to ICE. They seem to receive an unlimited budget for the purpose of terrorizing american cities. Kidnapping a 5 year old and using him as bait to kidnap his parents is unconscionable. The murder of and subsequent lack of investigation of the shooting of Renee Goode is horrific. It’s ridiculous that the country has money to fund those actions, but not healthcare, affordable housing, or anything else. The point of government is to provide a framework to give citizens a better life. This aint it. Do better.
