“The president has set up a slush fund, however you want to say that it got set up. And he literally will get to choose through his hand-picked appointees who gets paid that fund. That is absurd.
“Speaker Johnson extended the DHS shutdown for over a month for no reason at all. This is the same bill the Senate unanimously passed five weeks ago.
“After the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, people across the country demanded ICE be reined in. But instead of working with Democrats to enact real reform, Republicans rejected the most basic accountability measures, and now they're rushing to give ICE billions of dollars more.
“President Trump promised to end wars — not start them. These strikes are triggering attacks on U.S. military bases with no clear endgame and risk the situation quickly spiraling out of control, endangering our servicemembers and tens of millions of innocents.
“Under a CR and in a shutdown, this administration can do everything they are already doing — but without any of the critical guardrails and constraints imposed by a full-year funding bill. Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE.
