House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said on Monday that he is confident there is majority support in the Senate for health care legislation, urging lawmakers to “pass the damn bill that we sent over to you,” warning that delaying action puts millions of Americans’ health care at risk. Jeffries also weighed in on the federal immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota that has sparked nationwide protests following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal ICE agent, criticizing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and calling on her to face Congress. The controversy over immigration enforcement has become politically charged, with states like Minnesota, Minneapolis and Saint Paul filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing that the deployment of thousands of federal agents violates constitutional rights and has led to excessive force and civil liberties concerns.
