Cory Booker: We Can’t ‘Give Another Dollar’ to ICE, I Hope Dems Are ‘Staying Strong’ and ‘Not Move Forward’ with CR
EXCERPT:
BOOKER: "Well, to me, my red lines have been passed a long time ago. You have a reckless, out-of-control agency that is violating the rights of Americans literally shooting and killing Americans unjustly. And my colleagues do not seem to be aggrieved by this. The small government conservatives don’t think that this is in any way an overreach of executive power into the lives of community members. And to me, this agency cannot — we cannot give another dollar to an out-of-control, reckless agency. So I have no confidence that this negotiation is going to end well tomorrow, and I think it’s going to result — I hope it’s going to result in Democrats staying strong and not giving another continuing resolution, not moving forward while we have this kind of crisis, this kind of unleashed, unrestrained, unaccountable agency recklessly violating people’s rights in neighborhoods from California to New Jersey, from Minnesota all the way down to Texas. We have to stop this.”
