John Thune: “Democrats voted to defund law enforcement at the Department…”

“If this were about making reforms to some of the ways law enforcement does business, then Democrats would have accepted reforms. But they didn't. Instead, shortly before Easter, Democrats voted to defund law enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security. They voted to defund deportation of criminal legal aliens, individuals guilty of things like murder, assault and sexual crimes against minors. They voted to defund drug interdiction.” (02:39–02:49)
