Just saw this, and it makes me wonder how you think you should still be in the United States Senate — let alone a Democrat — if you’re going to follow up the first two paragraphs with the third.
This is a dead child, and your response sounds like Al Gore talking about Reinventing Government.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.
She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

Alex Pretti died as he lived — protecting his neighbors.
Not hiding behind a mask.
Not shooting a man in the back.
Not lying to cover it up.

We are at an inflection point in American history⚠️
The president's an evil 🦇💩 crazy fascist who created a brutal Gestapo-like paramilitary force with more funding than the Marines that's terrorizing American cities.
And there's nary a soul to stop them.

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.
