Democrats in Congress erupted in fury Saturday after federal agents fatally shot a man in Minneapolis, with some calling to deploy the National Guard and partially shut down the government in response. Why it matters: Democrats are growing ever more strident in their criticism of ICE, Customs and Border Patrol and other immigration authorities as the Trump administration has used the agencies to swarm cities across the country. All but six of the House’s 213 Democrats voted this week against a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security over concerns about a lack of constraints on ICE and CBP agents. The bill passed the House but needs support from at least seven Senate Democrats, who are now under more pressure than ever to block it. “The Senate should reject the DHS funding bill next week until significant reforms are added to the bill. We need a complete overhaul,” Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) said in a post on X.

    Biden was the beating heart of the pro-Israeli Senate caucus. His elevation to President enabled the Holocaust in Gaza.
