ICE is killing American citizens in the streets, violently pulling people out of their cars, shooting them with pepper balls, all while the death toll of individuals in ICE custody grows â and Republicans want to give MORE funding to ICE? ICE needs reforms. Not a blank check.

Trump's illegal war with Iran is costing U.S. taxpayers BILLIONS, has left 13 U.S. servicemembers dead, killed thousands, weakened U.S. credibility, and is forcing prices here at home to skyrocket â and Senate Republicans are doing nothing to stop it. Spineless.
