Senate Democrats say they want to end the government shutdown but have repeatedly blocked GOP attempts to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as they push for immigration enforcement reforms.
On Friday, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., said at a news conference following an antisemitic attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in her state that "certainly" Congress must fund DHS.
However, Slotkin and most Senate Democrats have voted four times to block DHS funding, including several attempts to temporarily reopen the agency while negotiations continue.
Slotkin is just one of several Senate Democrats calling for an end to the shutdown. Republicans argue the votes are part of a broader Democratic strategy to blame them for blocking efforts to reopen DHS.
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., accused Democrats of trying to shift blame for the shutdown.
"Well, that’s what they do, right? And they're good at it. They're really good at it," he told Fox News Digital. "And the big difference is they have 90% of the legacy media backing them up."
"So it's hard, but again, four times this afternoon, the Democrats voted against funding DHS," he continued.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Republicans of using the federal workers of a variety of agencies under DHS, like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as "hostages."
"I remind my Republican colleagues, we're going to be back here again and again, winning this debate and eventually winning the American people," Schumer said.
But Slotkin and others are now signaling an openness to funding Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which many Democrats have sought to deny federal funding to, in addition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Marxist-Dems DECEITFULLY refuse to fund TSA gov’t employees-to hamstring U.S. law to deport foreign nationals here illegally! They are purposefully attempting to exclude funding for ICE & immigration functions! Harping, that theirs is a clean - single issue bill. lol
Their power crazed strategy PENALIZES U.S. citizens at airports who hope to travel by air with only the best that communism will ever be able to offer you-LONG LINES!
It also threatens US citizens security.
Everything is great until it lands on THEIR doorstep.

The worst, most corrupt party imaginable—the Dims. (And that is a pretty incredible statement, considering how bad Repukes are.)
Here’s a suggestion for interrupting some of these unnecessary government shutdowns caused by the congress people responsible for this. By now, I’m pretty sure that someone knows who voted for or against this shutdown which has caused so many problems. Here’s a (admitting this is radical) possible solution....round up those congress critters responsible for this mess & let them run a gauntlet of Americans who were severely hurt by this shutdown. If this thing is a mile long, so be it. Clubs & whips would be optional. Should get the attentions of those responsible who I hear are mainly Democrats.
