Leader Jeffries Floor Remarks on Republican Bill Funding Ice Brutality and Continuing Airport Chaos

Published | Video Starts at 12:21

So I rise in strong opposition to this so called spending bill dead on arrival that will do nothing, accomplish nothing, other than continuing the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the chaos that Republicans have unleashed in airports all across America. House Democrats are going to continue to fight to lower the high cost of living, fix our broken health care system, clean up corruption, stop this reckless war of choice in the Middle east, get ICE under control, pay tsa. In the chaos at these airports and in this national nightmare that Donald Trump and Republicans are inflicting upon the American people, vote no against this partisan political stunt. (12:21–12:36)

CLAIM

Asserts the policy goals of House Democrats, including lowering living costs and reforming ICE.
