Backlash to Trump emboldens Democrats on DHS and ICE as partial shutdown looms Surveys show Americans are souring on Trump's immigration crackdown, and Democrats are drawing a hard line on funding as they seek changes to rein in ICE and CBP.

#SenateDemocraticCaucus say they won’t support another continuing resolution, or “CR,” to prevent a shutdown of #DHS beginning this weekend.
“What #ICE is doing is #unconscionable, & it’s got to be reined in. I can’t, in good conscience, vote for it. I would feel #complicit in what they are doing.”

I hate to say it, really, but the Minority Leader needs to step down and the #SenateDemocraticCaucus needs to vote in a new leader.

One the Party Base can BELIEVE will act and not merely promise to act.

I'd accept any one of these three:

#SheldonWhitehouse
#ElizabethWarren
#PattyMurray
