		<description>Democrats finally standing their ground and refusing to accept the unacceptable, IS progress.

Democrats allowing ICE and CBP to continue brutalizing the American public and telling bald-faced lies about it, without doing absolutely everything in their power to change it, would be unacceptable. if republicans do something like kill the filibuster or abuse the reconciliation process, that&#039;s on them. but Democrats would be complicit in the indiscriminate violence against the public if they didn&#039;t stand up and be counted. Schumer has already offered to fully fund every other agency in the department. unless the failure of DHS agents to behave like real police is addressed legislatively, there&#039;s no further compromise that wouldn&#039;t be seen as capitulation.</description>
