The Democrats are making a major stand against Immigration and Customs Enforcement enforcing immigration law by doing a soft shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.
If only that would actually affect ICE — as the usual voice of sanity on the left, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, pointed out.
On Thursday, asThe Associated Pressnoted, both the House and Senate left town for a 10-day break without fundingDHS.
The Democrats, the AP said, “want curbs on President Donald Trump’s broad campaign of immigration enforcement” and “demanded better identification for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal law enforcement officers, a new code of conduct for those agencies and more use of judicial warrants, among other requests.”
Trump, meanwhile, said on Wednesday that the Democrats’ demands would be “very, very hard to approve.”
Senate Minority LeaderChuck Schumerof New York, meanwhile, said that his party’s proposals would represent “an end to the chaos.”
“The White House and congressional Republicans must listen and deliver,” Schumer said.
Except that it won’t do anything of note, as Fetterman noted on social media.
In a video he posted Thursday evening, Fetterman noted that ICE still has $75 billion in funding, thanks to theBig Beautiful Bill. That’s not the part that a soft DHS shutdown will affect.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency? That’ll be affected. Transportation Security Agency? That too. And not only that:
