ICE is already fully funded through 2029 through the big, beautiful bill. This is a joke

“””ICE is already fully funded through 2029 through the big, beautiful bill. This is a joke””

Sure. But the democrats think they sound so tough when they all repeat the same talking points.

Shut-down the same government which funds massive welfare fraud, leftist NGOs and organized marxist street riots - using printed fiat money debasement and massive debt?

OK! Please!

Excellent Chunky. You da pig. Shut that mother down. The Snappers made it through your Thanksgiving and Christmas shutdowns so they can make it through the Valentine holiday easily.

Can't they make a "clawback" of ICE funding a pre-condition for any new CR ?

When the Dems do this, it will announce to the entire country that the entire dem party is lawless and promotes murder, rape, looting…

The Stupid Party should drive this home to the unwashed.

Dems seem very fearful that they will lose the illegal voting base and also moneys from the fraud that is being executed over the American Taxpayer. Somalia could not have executed the 19 billion dollars fraud without help from dem officials in Minnesota.

Sorry, but I can’t believe that Democrats are so out of touch, stupid, retarded morons that shutting the government down a second time in 60 days is a winning strategy.

Come on Democrats, I double dog dare you to do it!!!!

Ice is already funded through 2029. They would only stop Fema and TSA while in the midst of a national snow disaster.

Shut it down…this will be the 2nd Dem shutdown and after a month to six weeks of showing no one notices the Dems will fold.

We don’t negotiate with terrorist. Let them burn their cities down. Starve them of the money they get from fraud.

If they want to cut funding for DHS, win the next election.

Screw them they are thugs and terrorist.
