So they bring that deal to the White House, that proposal, and it gets to President Trump, and he...
completely rejects it.
The president says, I don't want to make a deal that doesn't fund ICE.
And he goes a step further and says, I don't want any deal that you guys pass unless you also take up this separate bill, the Save America Act, which puts restrictions on voting and requires voter ID.
Right, that's correct.
And if you were listening last week, you would know that the Senate has been basically debating this for a while, and this has been their main focus, but they've also been trying to get this deal done.
And this is the first time that the president has come out and linked these two objectives together.
Huh.
So that brings us to Monday morning, and negotiations are frozen.
And that is when Trump decides to send ICE agents to the airports to help out the TSA, relieve the long lines, try and relieve the officers of all this work they're doing.
And Democrats are a bit confused because to them, they now see Trump reminding everybody that this crisis at the airports was all about ICE to begin with.
Right.
And then there's one other thing that I think is really important.
John Thune, the Senate majority leader, has said to the senators, hey, I know you guys thought that you would be leaving on Friday for a two-week recess.
If we can't get a deal done to get us out of this crisis, you might have to stay here until we do.
Mmm.
And senators are just like us.
They like their weekends, and they like their breaks, and they like to go home.
And so now there's all this pressure to make a deal at the same time that Trump has basically said, don't make a deal.
Right.
