Congressional Progressive Caucus

The Congressional Progressive Caucus is a group of Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress who advocate for progressive policies and reforms. The caucus is led by Texas Congressman Greg Casar and has gained attention in recent news articles due to its stance on immigration enforcement and funding bills. In response to the killing of a US citizen in Minnesota, progressives in the caucus have vowed to block DHS funding unless it includes significant reforms. This stance has sparked a standoff with Republicans, who are pushing for a key spending bill that includes ICE funding. The caucus's demands for 'real reforms' have highlighted its commitment to progressive values and its ability to shape policy debates in Congress. As the Senate and House of Representatives race to meet an end-of-the-year deadline, the Congressional Progressive Caucus's position remains a significant factor in shaping the legislative agenda.
