Senate Deal Dead--House GOP leaders push DHS funding bill through May

Just when you thought it was over..it ain't over.


Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to build Republican support for a short-term bill that would fund all Department of Homeland Security operations through May 22, after the Senate passed a deal overnight that left out money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and some dollars for Customs and Border Protection.

The Louisiana Republican shared the plan on a House GOP Conference call shortly after noon Friday, honoring a commitment he made to members of the House Freedom Caucus earlier in the day that he would pursue a path out of the extended DHS shutdown that didn’t involve punting on funding for immigration enforcement activities.

There is no guarantee this plan will have support in the House, where GOP centrists are already balking at the proposal, according to four people granted anonymity to share their direct knowledge of the trajectory of negotiations Friday afternoon.

It’s also highly unlikely this gambit would pass in the Senate, which has already left town for a two-week recess. Republicans would need to rely on the other chamber approving the measure through a unanimous consent agreement — and Senate Democrats are warning they’ll reject it.


“A 60 day CR that locks in the status quo is dead on arrival in the Senate, and Republicans know it,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a statement Friday afternoon. “We’ve been clear from day one: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions — but we will not give a blank check to Trump’s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms.”

It will never be over until every last criminal illegal alien is rounded up and deported.
 
I would want a different job---I'm thinking that this is the point here, in the end.


Society needs first responders, law enforcement, etc. We cannot function without them. Therefore, we must do all we can to protect them so we have those who will do these jobs. Don't be a twit

An ICE agent is NOT a first responder.
At best, they are fugitive apprehension agents. Tag and bag guys.

At worst, well, I think we've all seen what that looks like eh?

or...they could vote to put body-cams on ICE agents, outlaw masks, and require that agents be fully LEO trained and certified.

But I guess that's a non-starter eh?
If an ICE agent's family gets hurt or killed, every Democrat who pushed for the Doxxing of Federal Law Enforcement should face a 50-year minimum federal jail stay.

The GOP has already agreed to the body cams and they are getting full ICE Training.

So, your post is nonsensical.

The only joke is Johnson actually thinks he selling another money grab as a clean resolution. You know, what they tried to pass in the first place. Then he tries to sell the BS that Trump had to declare an emergency to pay TSA with money that was already allocated in the first place.

He thinks everybody is as stupid as a magaturd. Now you know why they are getting ready to get their asses handed to them in November.
