Republicans balk at Senate Democrats’ DHS shutdown counteroffer​

Republicans on Wednesday balked at a Democratic counteroffer to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, as lawmakers and the White House scramble to strike a deal before a scheduled two-week recess begins on Friday ahead of a busy U.S. travel week for spring breaks and the Easter holiday.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters on Wednesday there was “no point” in Republicans issuing another response to Democrats’ counter and said the Senate would vote later that day on the GOP proposal unveiled earlier this week.

“It’s not even close to being real,” Thune said of the counteroffer. “They know better. They’re asking for things that have already been turned down. So it just seems like they’re going in circles, spinning, spinning.”

Congress and the White House are working to reach a funding deal before Congress leaves for a scheduled two-week recess on Friday.

John Thune said of the D's, "They’re asking for things that have already been turned down." As though trump turning something down indicates the proposal is unreasonable. The guy who keeps saying he isn't going to make a deal with D's on reforms to ICE favored by a majority of Americans. This, after the public seeing first hand the illegal, overly aggressive tactics ICE used in MN in violation of nearly 100 court orders.

Autocrats don't compromise. They dictate terms. So the impasse continues.

Democrats should keep doing this. The right never having to care if people are paid or not because Democrats care too much and will fold is such an advantage for them. Force them to care, first.

So the Democrats REJECT the latest compromise from the GOP, show up with a new wish list and it's the GOP's fault. You are either a retard or twisting reality like a good minion.

Schumer and Patty Murray had no intention of bargaining in good faith--its the democrat way. Its OK, all of these travelers who are being held hostage and voters who have been disenfranchised will remember in November.

Funding DHS has nothing to do with ICE other than Democrats want to cause Americans pain. Democrats could fund DHS but its they who refuse to.
If Sanctuary cities had worked with ICE..allowing them to go after the worst of the worst.. then they would not have to go searching. The problems only occur in these Democrat Sanctuary cities and States.

Everyone knows this shutdown because of democrats. You can post retarded shit like this but it’s your fault it hasn’t been passed.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Soooo lemme get this straight.........Dems didn't like and fought against DHS/ICE operations all last year, promoting more of their so called "peaceful protests" that got people killed and caused millions in damages all while praising their ideal of 'Democracy'.....and now all of a sudden, it's Trumps & Republicans fault those poor agents/employees aren't getting a paycheck??


Normally when 'sides' block bills, it's because the other side has added unnecessary and irrelevant pork fat to the mix. Maybe, just maybe our government could work more efficiently for the people if they'd keep their pork butt out of it

They know exactly what they're doing: lying through their teeth and hoping the American public is stupid enough to fall for it.
The Democrat Party is built on lies.

trump has refused to negotiate reforms to the methods and tactics used by ICE.

AI Overview

As of March 2026, President Donald Trump has maintained an uncompromising stance on the enforcement tactics used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), rejecting demands from Democrats to reform agency practices.

The fault lies entirely on him.
