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

Published March 27, 2026 | Video Starts at 09:21

Donald Trump promised to target violent felons who are here illegally. That's what Republicans promised. You've broken your word. It's American citizens and law abiding immigrant families who are being targeted violently by untrained and masked ICE agents. Our position is pretty clear. Let's pay tsa. Let's fund fema. Let's fund the Coast Guard. Let's fund our cybersecurity professionals. Stop holding the American people hostage to an extreme right wing agenda. (09:21–09:33)
