Democrat Senator Patty Murray of Washington state must have been living under a rock for the last two years because she recently stood before cameras and said with a straight face that she has “not heard one Democrat say defund ICE.”
It’s just amazing how easily these people can lie. The lie and lie and lie. They lie even when they know that you know that they’re lying.
Democrats have even introduced legislation to defund ICE:
Ramirez, Clarke Unveil Legislation to Defund ICE, the Melt ICE Act
Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03), joined by Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (NY-09), introduced the Melt ICE Act to end the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) funding to detain or monitor immigrants, disrupt DHS’s immigration enforcement. At a time when working families are facing a crushing affordability crisis, the legislation would also redirect funding toward wrap-around services, including housing and healthcare, for communities affected by immigration enforcement.
The legislation comes amid a national call to rein in ICE funding and as Congress announced an appropriations bill to fund DHS that includes $3.84 billion for ICE custody operations and boosts Enforcement and Removal Operations funding to $5.45 billion.
“After handing more than $150B to DHS immigration enforcement, there are those in Congress who would further expand DHS’s budget and ICE’s capacity to enact Trump’s mass deportation agenda. But we have seen what DHS can do with its unlimited resources and unchecked power. And we are saying enough,” said Congresswoman Ramirez. “Our tax dollars must not be used to terrorize our communities and violate our rights. The Melt ICE Act is a line in the sand and a declaration that we will not fuel human suffering. I am proud to join Congresswoman Clarke and advocates to send a message that we do not consent, nor will we enable DHS and ICE’s lawlessness.”
Murray’s lie is so insulting and just so typical of Democrats.
