First, We Remove All Leverage

Propose a shitty compromise because it got a group hug in the caucus meeting, and then remove any leverage you have to pass it.
Under the emerging plan, according to two officials knowledgeable about it, the Senate would split off legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security from a six-bill package of spending measures needed to keep the military, health programs and other federal agencies funded for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The Senate would pass those bills before a Friday midnight deadline, and Congress also would consider a short-term extension for homeland security operations, which would prevent an interruption of services by the Transportation Security Agency, Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
This isn't a "rein in ICE plan" it's an "avert the shutdown that our hog voters are yelling for" plans.

Then they will yell at people for not understanding their brilliance. Then not understand why people are mad when ICE continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing and murder.

...The Democrats!
