"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.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! Courts have ALWAYS struck down states from enforcing their own border shared with Mexico citing it is a federal function…I believe Biden just abdicated that responsibility stating they can no longer fund it. He just gave Texas and AZ the window of opportunity to fully enforce the border the take the Admin to court based on his verbal evidence.

ICE ended deportations in 2020 and detention capacity the WH just kept placing numbers on paper to make it appear they were actually doing somethin.
Biden is all BS all the time nothing new.
well that’s from this years budget projections. I agree over the years it has been building to this annual number.
Obviously the border-jumping Fed illegal alien parolees need to be sent to Washington, DC, to wait for their trials. Let DC pay for it. Not the states.
Why is there even a request for anything to Ukraine.. Did Joe set up a payback for the money he got from them..
Instead of tit for tat on this, why are we being asked.
