Chris Coons: The Democrats Shut the Government Down Last Year Because We Were Unwilling to Fund ICE

TRANSCRIPT:

COONS: “I do not support using ICE as an ill-trained, masked, concealed, thuggish local force that goes into churches and synagogues and mosques, into court buildings, into schools and hospitals. These should be safe places. And we had such a fundamental fight over the this that my caucus, the Democrats in the Senate, shut the government down for several months last year, because we were unwilling to vote to fund ICE.”
