GOP, Democrats Expect DHS Shutdown After Talks Fizzle

Senators in both parties now expect funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to lapse at the end of next week, as negotiations over Democratic demands for restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CPB) fizzle with the GOP.

Comments

"Republicans are dismissing the Democratic demands to reform ICE and CBP in the wake of the killings of two U.S. citizens by federal law enforcement personnel in Minneapolis as "non-starters," while Democrats are vowing to oppose another short-term DHS funding extension.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told colleagues on the Senate floor that he doesn't see a deal coming together in the next week after Democratic leaders released their 10-point plan Wednesday night for reforming ICE."

1NoNuts is all about Totalitarian State Security.... he's planning on giving up his DNA to Chinese Security so he can retire there.

All Trump would have to do is ax' him for his DNA, and 1Nut would say, "Just buy me a drink first!".
