blocking is over. Sure ICE is not part of the funding, but they are independently funded through 2028, as I understand it. So who cares?
The U.S. Senate unanimously advanced legislation on March 27 approving funding for all components of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and some parts of Customs and Border Protection.
Yes, OF COURSE Democrats are opposed to immigration security! But then again, we ALL know very well that Democrats want illegal immigration–and why.
Also, I think the Democrats also realized just how bad of an idea it was for them to not fund TSA. It provoked sending ICE into airports and having them seen by everyone there. That was a VERY poor PR move by the Democrats. People saw that ICE agents were not the monsters that the Left continually described them as. ICE even handed out water bottles to travelers!
And they were amazingly competent and effective, and within a few hours, there were no more lines at the airport. Trust me, people appreciate that.
Because of how bad this looked, there was a collective, “OH CRAP!” from the Left on that. So the left scrambled to stop the bleeding. The end result was that they funded DHS, with virtually no concessions by the Republicans.
It was a masterful move of political Jiu-Jitsu by Grand Master Donald Trump.
