House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new approach to pass a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that would not include funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Johnson and Majority Leader John Thune said in a joint statement Wednesday.
The partial DHS shutdown strained airport operations nationwide and imposed financial hardship on federal workers, raising pressure for a resolution even as Congress split over immigration enforcement policy.
Democrats and Republicans have been unable to come to an agreement that allowed DHS funding to move forward without the inclusion of funding for ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Trump and Johnson don’t know how to deal with someone who doesn’t agree with their every demand. Thankfully, for them, they usually didn’t have to deal with it from the Democrats.

And this is how you make Republicans eventually cave, Dems. You hold out. You don’t buckle. You don’t give them what they want because they’ll say they’ll support you the next time. Dems believed them once in the first budget fight a few months ago and got burned from it to absolutely no one’s surprise, and to everyone telling them that Republicans will go against their word.
About time that they learned that they don’t get what they want when they shit all over the table.

Trump has his hands in all kinds of shit, being up Mike Johnson’s ass and using him as a ventriloquist dummy is just one of those ways.

Blames democrats for defunding homeland security during this conflict, which he and his dear leader created, and the homeland security he’s citing is essentially an occupying army / masked ecret police force that refuses to be investigated when it murders civilians, while being headed by a man who took a 50k bribe from an undercover agent. Make it make sense.

Is this the good ending?

How is this caving? All of DHS gets funded except ICE. Then, ICE gets funded through budget reconciliation which only requires majority support. So, GOP gets everything. What exactly did the Dems get? Was this just the Dems trying to convince us they’re fighting Trump/GOP? If so, I’m not impressed.

Political suicide to refuse after bipartisan support, then cave…

NYT also says the plan does not include any of the restrictions on immigration enforcement that Democrats demanded.

Huh, surprising, I’ve been constantly told that Jeffries was an ineffectual loser that should have been primaries.
I guess he knew what he was doing all along.

This is crazy messaging. ICE is already funded through the BBB. The dems did not get any of their asks. And to summarize their asks: to have act behave like any other law enforcement group. These were not unreasonable.
The dems did not win here.

they are not caving. they’re putting DHS funding through on a reconciliation bill, meaning no reforms to ICE and CBP. this is electorally ok for the democrats but really bad for policy and reigning ICE in before the election

Republicans have to be treated like toddlers. Don’t reward bad behavior.

Just take money away from ICE and use it to pay TSA. Unlike ICE, TSA is actually doing something constructive for the country. Just break out the ol‘ sharpie.

What a spin. That story is written to make Dems the bad guys and makes no mention of the save act they were trying to prevent.
