The White House on Thursday announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will soon be "forced" to reduce operations at the southern border due to lack of funds.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that because Republicans have not passed the bipartisan border security agreement with funding for Israel and Ukraine, the administration is left with no choice but to pull back from the border.
"Because congressional Republicans are choosing partisan politics over our national security and refusing to pass the bipartisan national security agreement that includes significant border reforms and funding, over the coming weeks, ICE will be forced to reduce operations because of budget shortfalls," Jean-Pierre said during a gaggle on Air Force One.
"We have asked Congress for additional funding and resources, and every time Congress has provided less than we asked for, or most recently, completely ignored our supplemental request," she said.

So now they’re resorting to blackmail, nice.
B L A C K M A I L
Maybe Ukraine can send us some money for OUR border.
Impeach the bastards.
File writs of mandamous with the SC for failure to follow laws.
I.E. The White House has a gun to America’s head.
The White House needs to be brought up for charges of INSUREGENCY - these Leftist criminals are the REAL insurgents!!!!
Is there a number less than zero? Will ICE agents invade Mexico to kidnap people who didn’t want to come to the US?
No wonder these commies are locking up folks who dare to resist the Empire.
Gee maybe these pussies will be impeach him for this... Bwahahahaha!
Blackmailing national security is absolute treason.
Yet they have plenty of money to throw down the Ukraine corruption toilet.
Let them do it. They aren’t deporting anyone anyway. “Detentions” are a joke. That’s just means keeping them around long enough to get their diapers changed by the BPs and get issued all their freebies promised and guaranteed to them on that damn Statue of Liberty and the “judges” in black robes.
Sounds like this to me:
“If you don’t pass a bill that allows at least 5,000 illegals to come to the US, I will continue to allow MORE illegals to come to the US”.
Whichever way you look at it, illegals still come to the US as long as Biden is President.
So, Biden just PROVED that has the power to control the border is he chooses to.
Defund the White House. The House of Reprehensibles controls the budget
That's been their MO all along.
A group of red state attorneys general, should send letters to Biden, instructing him to maintain all communications and such for potential prosecution after he leaves office. Since President no longer have immunity.
Unbelievable...
Why does he need another border bill?
He already has the power to stop illegals from coming.
All he has to do is revert to the Trump policy that he unilaterally stopped when he first assumed The Presidency.
This so-called bill is nothing but political GASLIGHTING
