This is the moment for you, as Democrats, to press your advantage and demand Republicans break with a flailing president whose approval rating is plummeting to near-January 6 levels. You have the moral and political high ground to push forward a deal to rein in ICE and Border Patrol -- or at least force through TSA funding while those negotiations continue. Do NOT fully cave and back a new "deal" struck by Trump and Republican senators to fund Border Patrol and some ICE operations -- potentially without any reforms. If this deal goes through, it will be a historic capitulation by the Democratic caucus that will allow ICE and Border Patrol's lawless brutality to continue. Any elected official who votes for such a deal will be as responsible as Trump and Stephen Miller for the terror, violence, and death unleashed by those masked thugs using our taxpayer dollars.  But some Democrats have already voiced cautious support; we need to nip that in the bud immediately. We’re doing our part in the streets and on the phones to our elected. You MUST stay strong & united. NO capitulation for ANY funding of ICE or CBP until reforms are included & enforceable.
