A friendly reminder to our duly elected lawmakers in Washington as they debate a bill funding the DHS: as members of Congress, you hold the power of the purse, per Article I S7.C1 and S9.C7 of the Constitution. You decide whether to raise taxes and how much, and there is no mandate to fund a government agency. I hope that advice proves useful.

DHS and ICE are under siege by Congress like never before

Democrats are piling onto a push to impeach Noem as many Republicans call for an investigation.

Oh look! #ICE has pissed off the #NRA so NOOOW #Republicans find their voices!

Obviously, going forward the best defense against ICE is for EVERYONE to walk the streets strapped!

That way, if anymore of us get murdered by ICE at least Republican’ts will join the chorus of the impotent Congress-singers!
