A three-to-six-month shutdown would bankrupt 1.5 million working families serving with Defense, HHS, Treasury, HUD, Labor, Education, Transportation, and State.
If you think that's acceptable collateral damage, OK. But you need to wrestle with the reality of what you're demanding, not the abstract.

Here's the thing: If Senate Dems came to this after, I don't know a 3-6 month shut down after fighting like hell for truly meaningful reforms and were like, "We gotta go out and win the midterms" it'd be one thing, but STARTING here!?! With policies they'll either ignore or have already failed
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (one of 7 Democrats who just voted to fund DHS) defends her stance.
Argues funding for ICE "is not the question." Instead, Senate Democrats have leverage for various demands.
"I think they could negotiate to replace Noem with someone that doesn't skirt the filibuster."
