    The leader of the Democratic party in the Senate whipped votes to endure the ICE expansion would pass, and voted for it himself.

    The Democratic party might talk some shit about ICE, but the guy who they have elected as their party leader for 20+ years voted to quintuple its budget.

      Obama gave ICE “cazr” Tom Homan a service award after Homan created the policy to separate children from the parents during immigration issues. Seems like a Trump policy, but nope, it was Dems. Never let the republicans claim they are crueler to immigrants than Dem leaders are. Biden and Obama made Trump look like a dirty hippie by comparison.
