""The Senate should reject the DHS funding bill next week until significant reforms are added to the bill. We need a complete overhaul," Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) said in a post on X."
"DHS, in a post on X, said the man "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" and that "officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted." "Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots," the post continued."
""Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard. We can and must stop this," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in a series of social media posts."
"Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) urged colleagues to sign on to her articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, with Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) calling to "abolish ICE" and "impeach Kristi Noem.""
All but six of the House's 213 Democrats voted against a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security due to concerns about a lack of constraints on ICE and CBP agents. The bill passed the House but requires at least seven Senate Democrats to oppose it to be blocked, increasing pressure on Senate Democrats. Video appears to show agents tackling a man and at least one agent firing multiple rounds as the man lay on the ground; Minneapolis police confirmed the man died. DHS said the man approached Border Patrol with a 9 mm handgun, resisted disarmament, and an agent fired defensive shots. Multiple Democrats called to block ICE funding, prosecute officers, remove ICE and CBP from Minneapolis, or pursue impeachment and abolition measures, while some Democrats offered more muted responses.
