Roughly 100 members of Congress have said they will not approve further funding of ICE without reforms. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fed-powell-golden-globes-2026_n_6964c61ee4b0b3be67eb8c89/liveblog_6966aa5de4b09c0a939bfc60

@heidilifeldman you mean they've been agreeing to fund the MAGA SS until now? They call themselves the Progressive Caucus???
@heidilifeldman
Only 100? And only asking for reforms?
Fuck reforms. It needs to be abolished.
@heidilifeldman
"Without reforms" ? How about "abolish" ?
@heidilifeldman Still looks like controlled opposition.
@heidilifeldman I am not going to hold my breathe that DHS/ICE will be significantly changed..
@Axomamma Not anytime soon.
@heidilifeldman unless they appease the ultras we won't break 1/3 of potential voters again. Modest reforms of ICE is a conservative position.
@heidilifeldman That's honestly pathetic.
@heidilifeldman what a bold stance. /s
@heidilifeldman would love to know what was going through Jayapal's mind at that moment.
@heidilifeldman way too little too late
Grow a pair
Does "reforms" mean hangings?
@heidilifeldman Not nearly enough, but may they grow in rank.
And I really hope that disestablishing ICE is a D platform pillar. It bothers me that I don’t really know what the D stance is - have I just not heard, or are they not being clear and firm?
@StephanieMoore Congressional Dems are divided on the question though more of them are at least getting firmer on doing SOMETHING meaningful. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-funding-democrats-minnesota-shooting-b2899692.html
@heidilifeldman not gonna lie, this seems like it’s well below the minimum they could be doing. Why such wet noodles on things? I want a better opposition party.
@StephanieMoore @heidilifeldman they should be screaming "Abolish ICE" into every microphone. And they're not; not yet.
@heidilifeldman The reforms seem very modest, but it looks like something. Hopefully Dem leadership gets on board.
