Joining us now is Congressman Robert Garcia of California, ranking Democrat on the Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Thank you so much for joining us this morning, Congressman. I want to start there with ICE, the supercharged ICE with $170 billion coming their way.How do you how are you thinking about how are you preparing for what's to come with all of this money that ICE is getting. I mean, not only was this bill obviously horrific for health care, for all the wealth that's being transferred, of ...

The lackadaisical enforcement of EU law is clear for all to see. It is the commission’s job to crack down on members misbehaving, but it has become increasingly uninterested in playing bad cop https://t.co/kqbmhLHYBQIllustration: Peter Schrank https://t.co/kgSIydrM0f ...

US immigration enforcement is set for the most dramatic expansion in decades with the Republican-controlled Congress on track to approve a budget bill that will fund President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans https://t.co/e5IeJQQWdb ...

Government Policy & Budget Allocation - The proposed tax bill includes provisions that may lead to millions losing Medicaid coverage and tax cuts for wealthy individuals inheriting over $30 million estates, while increasing the federal deficit [1] - The bill allocates nearly $140 billion towards ICE and border wall construction [3] - The DHS 2026 budget request for ICE is just over $11 billion [2] Political & Social Implications - The Vice President argues that increased funding for ICE and immigration enforcement is a significant benefit for the American people [2] - Critics argue the bill prioritizes border security and immigration enforcement at the expense of essential services like rural hospitals [4] - The bill is portrayed as a "bait and switch" tactic, promising improved lives but primarily delivering increased immigration enforcement [3]

Political Strategy & Legislative Action - The Democratic party is employing delay tactics, including introducing approximately 500 amendments, each providing 5 minutes of debate, to postpone the vote and raise public awareness [1] - The strategy involves constituents contacting Republican representatives to influence their vote against the bill [1] - The ultimate goal is to defeat the bill entirely and start over with a bipartisan solution [1] Bill's Content & Impact - The bill includes approximately $170 billion for immigration enforcement, with around $45 billion allocated for new detention centers and nearly $30 billion for ICE [2] - The bill is projected to cause approximately 17 million people to lose their healthcare coverage [1][2] - Concerns are raised about the potential for increased immigration enforcement activities, described as "kidnapping" and "human trafficking," impacting communities nationwide [3] Healthcare Implications - The speaker expresses strong opposition to the bill, arguing it will negatively impact healthcare access, particularly for vulnerable populations like individuals with disabilities relying on Medicaid [2] - The speaker criticizes the perspective that the potential loss of healthcare for millions is considered "minutia," emphasizing the human cost [1][2]

I want to bring in Democratic Florida State Senator Shervin Jones who represents Miami Dade County, which includes a large portion of the Everglades. As you watch this unfold, you see the president there, you see your governor there, um, and the reporting that there could be people arriving as soon as tomorrow. What are your concerns.Well, first, thank you for having me. It's disgusting. What's happening in the Everglades isn't immigration enforcement.It's absolute political theater. when we know we have he ...

To the president, it's gorgeous. We call it a great big beautiful bill cuz that's what it is. But to Democrats, an ugly betrayal.The bill before the Senate is out of poison. 940 pages that make up the foundation of President Trump's agenda. So what's actually in it.Start with tax cuts, a huge piece of this plan. As written, the bill would make the president's signature 2017 cuts permanent. The bill would also let people deduct more of their state and local income taxes for the next 5 years.And it would fulf ...
