Democrats in Congress have shifted their tone on defunding the Department of Homeland Security, walking back threats after immigration officers killed two American citizens in Minneapolis, with journalist David Shuster warning this may ensure "deportation trains" continue.
Shuster calls on Democrats to push for structural reforms, including potentially shutting down DHS, saying "defunding is not radical" and is the only language Trump and Republicans will understand, as protesters have been shot and killed and DHS refuses to cooperate with local prosecutors.
In his Substack essay, Shuster argues that Democrats must be "bold and strong" and take real action, rather than settling for symbolic reforms, to produce meaningful change and address the issues with Trump's immigration regime, saying "it's not enough to express shock" and request minor changes.
