So this was difficult to watch, yet really important information to have about the presence of PFAS and PFOA (forever chemicals) everywhere. Steps are presented towards the end of the show to protect ourselves. Big one is to lobby Congress for laws to ban them.

Democrats - make a demand of Republicans to get your vote on the spending bill. Don't just 'not vote for it' - make a demand for your vote. No one wants a shutdown.
So demand - Noem is fired? ICE agents who kill are removed and tried in court?, ICE funding is struck from the bill?
DEMAND! DEMAND!
