Senator Schumer says Democrats will force amendments to highlight ICE funding versus lowering costs for families

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York says at a weekly news conference that Americans want one thing right now which is relief through lower gas, groceries, electric bills, housing, health care and child care costs, but Republicans' priority is one hundred forty billion dollars for ICE and Border Patrol with no reforms, no accountability and no strings attached while zero dollars go to lower costs, and Democrats will force amendment after amendment and vote after vote during vote-arama to make Republicans choose between lower costs or letting them keep rising, helping families or blocking relief and standing with the American people or with Trump's unchecked enforcement machine.
