Senator Murray Demands ICE Accountability and Reform

U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, spoke on the Senate floor about the killing of Alex Pettri and the violence we are seeing from ICE and CBP agents in Minneapolis and all across the country—and the urgent need to rein in these agencies. Senator Murray emphasized that Democrats are ready to avert a Republican shutdown by passing the five other appropriations with overwhelming bipartisan support while splitting off the Homeland Security funding bill to allow time for serious negotiations to secure reforms at DHS.
