Tag: DHS funding fight

“I will say in the past, Republicans have just waited us out because they thought that we would break. And we have broken in the past. And this would be, I think, a very dangerous moment for us to do that because of the very specific moral question being put to the nation: Does the president of the United States get to murder American citizens? The answer to that question has to be no, but it likely will only be no if we’re in a position to win this fight.”

— Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), quoted by the New Republic, on blocking funding for ICE.
