Let's just start from that baseline when we talk about what's going on.
But we really saw a lot of movement toward a deal.
And I think it makes sense to start with last week when Tom Homan, who's the White House border czar, came to Capitol Hill to meet with a bipartisan group of senators and talk about a way to end the crisis.
This is the first time that Homan came since Trump put him in charge of immigration in Minneapolis.
And it was a real sign to senators and to those of us who watched them that the White House was ready to find a way to bring an end to this whole situation.
So Homan comes and he sends a letter to two Senate Republicans saying, we're open to making some changes on immigration enforcement and some changes to the way that ICE operates.
Yeah, he says there are some points that we can agree on.
There's some stuff that we're ready to discuss.
And let's come together and find a path out of this crisis and find a way forward.
And we head into the weekend.
Republicans come forward and they have this proposal, which they bring to the White House.
And they say, this is what we want to do.
We're going to fund all of the Department of Homeland Security, except for the parts of ICE that deal with immigration, detentions and deportations.
We should say that that's a pretty big concession to Democrats.
It's a huge concession to Democrats because Democrats have said from the get-go that they did not want to pass a bill that funds ICE.
I mean, this was like their main point.
They didn't want to fund ICE without these new restrictions on federal agents, and Republicans are coming out and saying, okay, we will pass a bill that does that.
We'll fund everything except the parts of this department that you don't want to fund.
Potential breakthrough.
It is a potential breakthrough.
