One doubts that would actually happy……..
But?
With lawmakers UNHAPPY with DHS Head Noem and ICE Protests getting BIGGER and LOUDER?
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) is pushing back against calls from some Democrats to freeze funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), even if it were to result in another government shutdown.
In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee expressed concern about the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old American citizen by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday, but he resisted suggestions to use the government funding deadline at the end of this month as the point of leverage.
“Listen, I think we went through the longest government shutdown in American history last year. I don’t think we need to repeat it,” Warner said, when asked if he would support a push to freeze funding for ICE ahead of the funding deadline.
The record-long government shutdown ended on Nov. 13 after 43 days when a handful of Democrats joined Republicans in voting for their continuing resolution to extend the funding deadline. Democrats had been insisting on negotiating an extension of enhanced health care subsidies, which were slated to expire at the end of 2025, before offering support for the GOP bill.
Ahead of the new Jan. 30 funding deadline, Congress is racing to adopt three appropriations packages to avoid another shutdown. One of those packages will include funding for the Department of Homeland Security, and some Democrats want to withhold their support for that bill to demand new limits on President Trump’s deportation forces nationwide….
There’s a funny video of an ICE agent in Minneapolis falling flat on his ass. Ironically– due to ice.
Hoping to see that happen two or three hundred more times.
Officer down.
