Days since the dems caved: zero. The GOP pinky sweared that ICE/CBP might have "guardrails".

Really cool and good learning that all my life I have really just lived in the one-party state I was told only happens in the bad country.
Better to learn it at all than to live in ignorance like so many choose to
1.5 party ahh state
Dems never beating the 'controlled opposition' accusations
Schumer: "I might use my leverage!"
GOP chorus: "Sure - Chucky - sure."
Schumer: "I might! I might! I might!"
GOP chorus: "We offer you the possibility of 'guardrails'."
Schumer meekly: "Okay."
what else can we do we're the minority party Chuck and/or blue maga
That's the one that gets me. Like okay, the Dems are the establishment. They aren't going to act outside the established frameworks, that's just not a reasonable thing to expect from them, so they may not be able to actually change anything right now. But there's still plenty they could be doing! Most obviously, they could be setting themselves up for an electoral slam dunk. ICE is unbelievably unpopular from what I can see, and making noise about stopping them would, I don't doubt, lead to the biggest win they'd ever have. The fact they aren't doing that should make it very, very obvious that they're fundamentally on the same side as the Republicans. But it won't, because democrat supporters are totally incapable of imagining anything beyond the current system, so it MUST function the way it claims to, otherwise the problem is insurmountable, and they can't tolerate that. That would require them to take political action outside of what's sanctioned by tptb. Americans at large don't seem ready for that, their material conditions just aren't bad enough, and frankly given how propagandised they seem to be I have my doubts it's even possible to radicalise them.

So pretty much the only thing left for Schumer to complete his descent to completely useless tool is to announce in advance that he's proactively giving in to whatever the Republicans might be planning to demand next.
I get the sense that during the past few years the GOP has been "teaching" Schumer how to win at poker. But somehow Schumer loses his shirt every time. And the GOP consoles him by saying he's almost there. Of course - he believes them. It's not as if they lie, cheat, and steal - is it?
House Dem Leader @RepJeffries just told me in his news conf that he wants a ban on deportation of US citizens as part of a deal on DHS conduct and the immigration crackdown.
I had to click through that link to make sure you weren't doing some elaborate Onion bit. Worthless servile curs.
He wants to make it illegal to not follow the law!
Not even a ban on (illegally) detaining them and holding them while declaring their legal documents to be fake and torturing them? Just a ban on kicking them out at the end of that process? Incredible.
So he's fine with them getting rounded up, just not deported? Sounds like the next step.
Dems are going to push Republicans into implementing a final solution with their million asterisk compromises
A ban on implementing a final solution for pell grant recipients in low income neighborhoods who have owned small businesses for 3 three years 
They weren’t banned from doing this already?
Truly beyond satire
feckless.
their inaction is complicit in deaths, kidnappings, and the pain and suffering of innocent children.
The blood of the innocent is on their hands.
They should be rounded up, removed, and thrown into a ditch for carrion birds to pick at.
Mood
Democrats and completely caving by giving up leverage. Name a more iconic duo.
