US House Votes to End Record 76-Day DHS Shutdown
The Spin
Republican narrative
Republicans have ended the Democrat-led shutdown and locked in border security funding for three years, while Democrats got nothing for their obstruction. Every single Democrat in Congress has made clear through their actions that they want to defund immigration enforcement entirely. Passing the budget resolution ensures ICE and CBP keep operating no matter how hard Democrats fight to reopen the border.
Democratic narrative
Republicans held DHS funding hostage for over two months just to funnel billions more into ICE brutality, and House Democrats forced them to back down. TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and the Secret Service are finally funded again, no thanks to Republicans who prioritized mass deportations over actual public safety. ICE still won't get another penny until real reforms are in place.
