29. How about we also demand, before any money is approved,

Wednesday

that a complete list of ICE agents be provided to Democratic leadership, with the understanding that the names will be cross referenced to look for convicted felons, January 6th rioters, people with a history of domestic or other violence, members of far right groups such as the Proud Boys, etc.

I repeat: this should happen BEFORE money is approved, since we know this administration will ignore any restrictions or regulations once they have the money, just as they've ignored the law on releasing the Epstein files.
