House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday it will be a few days before a government funding package comes up for a vote, all but ensuring the partial federal shutdown will drag into the week as Democrats and Republicans debate reining in the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement operations.
Johnson signaled he is relying on help from Donald Trump to ensure passage. Trump struck a deal with senators to separate funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a broader package after public outrage over two shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The measure approved Friday by the Senate would fund DHS temporarily, for two weeks, setting up a deadline for Congress to debate and vote on new restrictions on ICE operations.
Democrats should block any bill that provides funding ICE. ICE and DHS should be disbanded. It was created post 9/11 and people saying creating them was a bad idea we’re 100% right.
The INS existed before ICE.
Project wetback, as one heinous example of INS…
I was a teenager when 9/11 happened and even my stupid ass knew that, along with all the patriot act shit, was going to be a problem.
Normal people when they realize leftists were right:
But fr, they were right and we need to start listening to them. First thing to do is unite!
Alex Jones said that when they were created. You won’t believe it, but he fully supports what they’re doing now. Such a surprise!!
You can literally see the mental illness on his face in every photo or video.
I don’t trust Trump not to pull funds from elsewhere. Shut it off and leave it off until he’s out of power.
That’s not how it would work. If you shut it down… He’s still going to run the military.
I suspect that’s what tariffs and Venezuelan oil are for. Skipping the Congress.
The sooner we shot it down, the more apparent this will be and higher chance it won’t work for him.
Yeah, the money from that is literally being put into foreign bank accounts instead of being held by the US government. Supposedly it’ll be give back when they’re ready, or whatever bullshit they say. If this is true, why those bank accounts? Shouldn’t it be the US government that holds onto it?
Yea but they should vote the other 5 agencies through then just never pass the DHS budget.
