Dems: do not CAVE! Fund DHS NOT ICE or BP. GOP disgrace

To: Sen. King, Sen. Collins, Rep. Golden

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

March 12

Holding the government hostage as the senate GOP is now doing is despicable. Yes, the Senate GOP, you rejected a Dem bill to fund DHS minus ICE & Border patrol. Shame on you GOP. No more fake outrage about hyper partisanship making Congress dysfunctional. GOP, this belongs to you: we see and we will fire you at the ballot box. Dems: DO NOT CAVE. For the Senate GOP to inflict pain on those whom they should serve by refusing the Dem bill to fund DHS in full apart from ICE and Border Control is DESPICABLE. We know that the latter two agencies already have multi-year funding in place, thanks to the Big Ugly Bill. The Democrats’ offer was a prudent and generous plan to keep OTHER essential services like TSA running and thus to SERVE the people. All GOP must know that American opinion REJECTS: MASS DEPORTATION. We REJECTED Bovino and Noem and we will REJECT Stephen Miller. We -- AND THE COURTS -- reject ICE racial profiling, mass deportations, lies, illegality, brutality, extrajudicial executions and destruction of constitutional rights. Shame on the senate GOP for this craven cultish fealty to Trump's slave patrol Gestapo. I write to demand that DEMS hold fast and GOP eats humble pie and stops worshipping the Twice impeached-Rapist-under suspicion-Unqualifed - Malevolent Power-usurping lawbreaking resident of the White House. DEFUND ICE DISSOLVE ICE RESTORE CONSTITUTIONAL order WE REJECT THESE THINGS. We demand that they NOT BE FUNDED.
