Game, Set, Match: ICE
American Thinker ^ | 22 Mar, 2026 | Clarice Feldman

Whether in a war to save civilization from fanatics, in beating back election cheating, in deportations of illegals, or in exposing and punishing deep state interference, it’s not a good idea to bet against Trump winning.

Despite the fact that funding for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was already set for three years, Senate Democrats insisted on shutting down funding for DHS (Department of Homeland Security), CBP (Customs and Border Protection), and TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) in an effort to geld ICE. This partial shutdown lasted over 30 days, with delays at airports reaching as long as three hours. TSA workers, unpaid for weeks, were quitting. The Democrats wanted to force the Administration to change the policies and practices of ICE.

The partial shutdown also negatively impacted the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and FEMA operations, also under DHS, raising real national security issues. Elon Musk offered to pay the TSA agents out of his own pocket. The Democrats threatened to sue him to prevent that.

On Saturday, the President ordered ICE to assist the security operations at airports, effectively removing any leverage the Senate Democrats hoped to capitalize on in the hope that angry travelers would force the administration to buckle.

"If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before..."

Iran

On Friday night the IDF and U.S. effected one of the longest, strongest waves of attacks on Tehran. As quickly as eliminated regime leaders are replaced, their replacements are also eliminated. Ballistic missiles buried deep underground, have been hit with bunker buster bombs, destroying not only the bombs but also pinning

Unlike TSA, ICE agents will have “GUMS.”They will be “HARMED.”

Many upscale illegals will be arrested and deported.

I am loving this.

If ICE has already been funded for three years, then why aren’t the GOP Senators making that point in the daily hearings?????

“The democRATs are sure showing us who’s side they are on.”

As someone stuck in a blue area, I see little impact on Dem voters. Dem voters are still all in for Dems, (hard for me to comprehend). It’s my experience that even the most seemingly moderate Dem voter has a touch of TDS.

I am sure everyone is aware, im sure its always mentioned. The thing is…. Democrats will do ANYTHING to try and extort Trump into bending to their will. Yes they will gladly sacrifice security of millions of Americans if means they get 1 more vote in November. They are the party of death and crime… so they dont care.

I have watched a lot of the SAVE ACT/DHS funding hearings and I have not heard any GOP Senator talk about ICE being funded for three years.

I think they have learned the ability to "hate"; or have it innately without ever seeking a higher power to shine a light on their hearts and thinking. They compartmentalize, dehumanize, and move on. Luckily, I don't have many in my personal circle, but at the same time this gives me a twisted distortion of numbers. In my world, no way I see the crazies they elect get voted in. No way. But there they are, in our schools, universities, media, entertainment, courtrooms, elected offices, and really every facet of public life is dominated by these people with the capacity to compartmentalize and hate.

Trump needs to replace TSA with ICE. Criminal foreigners are the reason we need TSA anyway. Without all of these illegal aliens, we wouldn’t need TSA. Just don’t allow foreigners to get onto any American airliners. It’s moronic that we do allow them on our planes after 9/11.

Democrats are like Fire Ants.

If you’ve dealt with Fire Ants that’s all you need to know.

I did not watch any of it but….. according to Grok:

Yes, several Republican congressmen and senators have pointed out during recent government funding negotiations and partial shutdown discussions (centered on the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS) that ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is already funded for multiple years—often cited as 3 years or through 2029—thanks to a large supplemental allocation in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (or similar major legislation) passed in 2025 under President Trump.

Excellent quote:

“To my knowledge, Europe has no defenses adequate to deal with this Iranian threat. It has so denuded its armed forces, shipped so much in the way of armaments to Ukraine, and so diminished its energy stocks that it doesn't seem able to defend against a conventional attack by land or sea, let alone intermediate range ballistic missiles like the two Iran just aimed at Diego Garcia. The message is clear: Trump was right to attack Iran to prevent a world-wide catastrophe triggered by fanatics. The U.S. is Europe's only real defender. It's time to cut the nonsense and take seriously the threats to their existence.”

The EU and its defenders ridicule Trump and the US.

I have turds that are literally smarter than these people. My turds have never said a thing that was wrong.
