Description

Sam Stein is joined by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) for his take on the rapidly unfolding government shutdown fight and why Democrats are willing to shut down the Department of Homeland Security unless Congress passes real, binding limits on ICE and CBP. Coons explains why Democrats agreed to a short-term DHS extension, what specific statutory reforms they’re demanding, and how Trump’s governing chaos is reverberating beyond U.S. borders.

What about oversight? They need to account for everyone that has been abducted. Who is paying for all the damage to personal property unnecessarily?

As a Norwegian, I expect politicians to be serious and competent people. It's okay if I don't "get my will" in politics as long as the people in government are reasonably decent and grounded in reality. Frankly, I don't even understand what the Americans are looking for in the people they elect.

It's nice to hear more Senate Dems saying this, but a whole lot more of them need to match their words with actions. We can't afford any more status quo. Our lives are (literally!) on the line.
