Where things stand on the budget bill that includes DHS funding: There’s still time to make calls and send emails! The vote could come on Tuesday, when the Senate will be back in session, but Schumer apparently thinks the vote won’t be until Thursday.
Schumer is talking about the need to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE” — so you might want to indicate your feelings about that vs. totally defunding ICE (and the DHS). Do you really think ICE can be salvaged in its current form to be something other than a terrorist organization?
EDIT: Please, no replies about how bad Schumer is. I know. That's not the point of this post.

@jeridansky Under this administration? Unlikely. Talking about a bunch of bad apples... full of Nazis?

@ai6yr Yeah, I don't see any chance of remaking ICE and DHS into anything remotely acceptable.

@jeridansky There is no way that ICE can be salvaged. Its very FOUNDATION is built on terrible things being made legal and "ok." I don't even see why DHS exists. Everything it *purports* to do, other organizations already do (and better.)
But Schumer is such a conservative that he'll never understand this I suspect. (Sometimes I really wonder why he didn't switch parties — at least back before Republicans became the official nazi part of America anyway.)

@nazokiyoubinbou I agree about ICE (and DHS) being unsalvageable. I was just putting that question out there as something to address when contacting senators.

I call everyday. I hope they find their spine for this effort. -

I call everyday. I hope they find their spine for this effort.@NorcalGma2 I've been writing to our senators daily, but today I called. And I thanked Schiff for saying not a penny more to ICE. (But I want not a penny more to DHS; it's not just ICE.)
I also wrote to my congressman who seems to be doing what he can (voted against DHS funding, signed onto Noem impeachment effort) and thanked him for that.
