This is the ongoing conversation that the president's always having with us.
So that occurred last night.
Additionally, last night, the president posting to Truth Social that a deal has been struck with the United States Congress to get funding for ICE and Border Patrol, or at least a deal that he's okay with.
He announced a two-phase plan to fund DHS last night.
And so here's the update on this story.
In some sense, it's annoying, but it's clearly a sign that the president is done with the games.
He doesn't want to play anymore on this one.
Here's what he said.
He said, Republicans fully support our great men and women of law enforcement.
Maybe the word should be love.
America thanks each and every one of our wonderful police, Border Patrol, ICE, and others for their work to protect our cities, towns, streets, and indeed our country itself.
Unlike Republicans, Democrats want us to defund the police, Border Patrol, and all immigration enforcement
They want to allow criminals, the mentally insane lunatics from all over the world to come into our country totally unvented and unchecked, putting Americans in serious danger.
And so you guys, this is why we're going to go forward with incredible funding, rather, our incredible ICE agents and border patrol through a process that doesn't need the radical left Democrat votes.
And that bill, he says, will be on his desk no later than June 1st.
Okay, so what he means, just to be crystal clear, is he's asking the United States Senate to use reconciliation, the United States Congress, to use the reconciliation process to fund ICE and Border Patrol.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself, Vince, I thought ICE was already funded.
I thought they had the money from the big, beautiful bill.
The answer to that is, yes, they do.
The people who aren't being funded right now are the administrative employees.
