LEADERS JEFFRIES AND SCHUMER STATEMENT ON REPUBLICAN COUNTER TO COMMONSENSE DEMOCRATIC PROPOSALS TO REIN IN ICE & STOP THE VIOLENCE

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement on the Republican counterproposal:

"Republicans shared an outline of a counterproposal, which included neither details nor legislative text. The initial GOP response is both incomplete and insufficient in terms of addressing the concerns Americans have about ICE's lawless conduct. Democrats await additional detail and text."
