First, I understand that Senator Schumer tried to pass the ACA premium tax credit extension bill last night by unanimous consent and that Republicans blocked it. This angers me. Please tell the Senator I support these subsidies and want him to do everything possible to get them passed. Second, I am horrified by ICE’s abuses in Minnesota and elsewhere. The Senator needs to refuse to vote for any DHS appropriations bill that fails to rein them in. And I’d like the Senator to make a public statement saying as much. We can’t wait around while ICE harms more people. The Senator must push for an appropriations bill that puts serious restrictions on it, ends its dragnet raids, and doesn’t add a penny to its already bloated budget.
