So why hold up potentially this funding and a bill that everyone agreed to, both sides agreed to in the first round? Well, let me address the statement that you just made because that's inaccurate. The Homeland Security funding bill was before the House prior to the cold blooded killing of Alex Pretty. And the overwhelming majority of House Democrats voted against it. And we were very clear why we were voting against it. Because we believe that there should be a prohibition on ICE deporting or detaining American citizens. (04:25–04:33)
