Senator Chris Murphy today in the Trump era is not only the Conscience of the Senate but he is right now the Conscience of the country. We have to memorialize this because there will be a day when our children and grandchildren will want to know what we did during this great moral failure that is the Trump era and we want speeches like Senator Murphy's to stand witness that people knew, our leaders were told and were warned. And they chose to do nothing in the face of evil.

He was a great representative, too. Sandy Hook was in his district.

Murphy is so good at laying things out, when the White House tries to obfuscate. Interesting that are running out of money due to going after wrong things, too much on deportations and not enough on Congressionally required helping people trying to become citizens.

President Biden deported more migrants per day than tRump’s DHS & all were given due process. This is just an inept, clown car administration

Good! No more money for ICE- America’s SS. Noem probably used lots of it on plastic surgery & hair extensions

I well remember when Kristi Noem was sworn in for her role as DHS Secretary and Chief Dog-Shooting’ Lady. She strode into the big room at St. Elizabeths, coiffed and manicured to the big-lashed perfection we all now know too well. Her classy theme music: “One Hot Mama” by Trace Atkins.

“That is what our job is here as well at the Department of Homeland Security. We prepare ahead and think three steps ahead so that people have what they need before they need it…I will challenge you to think ahead and to think what people might need before they actually need it."

That apparently means stiffing contractors who contracted services to get “the things that people might need.”

Thank you for sharing! Yay for Sen. Murphy. For months now DHS has not paid its invoices to contractors for work already contracted and agreed upon, leading to the gutting of small American businesses. My company's work for CISA has been terminated. And a lot of our unpaid work for DHS was ironically enough for the procurement office. They liked to pride themselves on their "innovative procurement techniques." Boy, not paying invoices is sure innovative! Let's not even get into the $30 million ad campaign. And I wonder who's paying the invoices from El Salvador...?

Sen. Murphy shredded like a BOSS

I only kinda wish they would have shown Sec. Noem’s face as it melted off her skull like in the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Thank you, Senator Murphy, for your clear-eyed assessment of the horror DHS is perpetrating on all immigrants. ICE, under Kristi Noem is heartless and dangerous.
