"What's happening in #Minnesota is appalling -- and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the DHS spending bill, but because of Republicans' refusal to stand up to President #Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to reign in the abuses of #ICE. I will vote no.
Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included." -- Sen. Chuck Schumer. #NewYork
