Ron Johnson Won’t Negotiate DHS Funding, Heaps Blame on Democrats
['Royce Podeszwa']
Urban Milwaukee
It’s the second time this month that federal officers shot and killed someone demonstrating against immigration operations inMinnesota; the first being Renee Good on Jan. 7.
Speaking on WPR’s “Wisconsin Today,” Johnson accused Democrats of goading residents to interfere with Immigration and Customs Enforcement missions.
After the killing of Pretti, Democrats are now vowing to block the bill unless lawmakers carve out $64.4 billion in DHS funding, including $10 billion for ICE.
Johnson said he’s unwilling to negotiate on splitting DHS funding from the spending package, calling such an idea a continuation of the movement to defund police.
Johnson accused any Democrats who claim they would be willing to fund DHS in some way of lying.
