Democrats Hold America Hostage

Senate and House Democratic Leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries announced on Monday that Democrats would continue to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security. In effect, they declared they were going to hold America, and especially America’s flying public, hostage.

Here’s what they are hoping you don’t think about: The program they most dislike, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was already funded through 2029 in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. ICE got a $75 billion supplement as part of President Donald Trump’s commitment to control the border and deport criminal illegal immigrants and others.
