ICE did not shut down on Friday. Thousands of ICE and Homeland Security staff will continue to get paid while TSA, FEMA, Secret Service, CISA, and the Coast Guard are shut down. They are affecting the safety of all Americans. Democrats did not offer a reasonable plan to avert a shutdown. They want ICE and DHS funding eliminated. It is being paid for in the Big Beautiful Bill for two years.
[We had to correct this and originally thought ICE was shut down because of the lies told by Democrats. It is not.]
Sen. Schumer, in the grip of the Communists and Socialists taking over the party, said that three objectives are not met.
Those three objectives include ending the Trump administration’s roving ICE patrols, stronger accountability for immigration enforcement officers, and barring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from wearing masks.
They are nonstarters.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has poured cold water on some of the Democrats’ demands, such as barring ICE officers from wearing masks and tighter warrant requirements.
The warrant requirements would mean few illegal aliens, including criminals, would be deported.
Democrats want full control and to keep illegal aliens in the country.
Republicans need to abolish the filibuster. This is insanity.
That means the partial government shutdown impacts other DHS agencies such as the Coast Guard, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
“ICE has continued to enforce the law across the country,” Homan later told “State of the Union.” “They’re already funded. Now, the ICE officers won’t be getting paid, but they’re getting used to that, it seems like.”
All other government operations outside of DHS are fully funded until Sept. 30.
Democrats gave Republicans only 10 days to negotiate.
All Schumer cares about is keeping power and remaining a senator.
I wonder if anyone will remember come November.
I will but the only problem is a NEVER voted for a demoCRAP!!!!!!!!!!
