Mike Johnson Called The 4th Amendment An Inconvenience Jeffries Slams Johnson Over ICE Reforms

The Speaker has already rejected two of your demands, judicial warrants and removing face masks. So if that's still his position, will you vote to shut the government down, shut the Department of Homeland Security down if he sticks to that position? Mike Johnson and John Thune rejected the notion that the six appropriations bills should be divided. They rejected that notion. And I'm thankful for what Leader Schumer and Senate Democrats did, which is to draw a line in the sand and say, no, it's not going to go down that way. And that's why we're at this moment. So understand something. We get it over in the House. Mike Johnson and John Thune aren't working for the American people. They work for Donald Trump. And so many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, they function like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump cartel. So at the end of the day, listen, Trump understands that the public is not with the administration's cruel and chaotic policies here and that we actually need to restore law and order as it relates to how we proceed. And we're ready to proceed in good faith to sit down. Mike Johnson has articulated unreasonable positions. He's actually supporting the notion that mass and lawless ICE agents should be deployed in communities throughout America. That's Mike Johnson's position. That's contrary to what the American people believe should be taking place. Mike Johnson called the Fourth Amendment an inconvenience. It's not an inconvenience. It's part of the fabric and DNA of our country, just like the First Amendment. Yes, even the Second Amendment, the Tenth Amendment, the Fourth Amendment. We're standing up for all of these constitutional privileges that have been part of who we are since the very beginning as we celebrate our 250th birthday. Chuck, I'm just going to say we're sending them a proposal and we await their response. But I think the American people are going to be amazed that the speaker says that these secret police should continue to rove around in our cities unchecked.
