Matty Roses21 Democrats vote to fund the government without any ICE restrictions
dhorkWhat’s the context here? Are these the Democrats who voted for the funding package? If so your premise is wrong. They voted to extend DHS funding at current levels until the end of next week. That is hardly “no restrictions”.
ICE already has its money, so voting “no” on this would not have affected its operations at all.
You’re thinking like a democrat.
Republicans recognize shutdowns as a tool to get what they want.
ICE isn’t affected by a shutdown
The idea is to use the shutdown as leverage. In this case, it would be voting to pass funding only if something that restricts ICE is included.
