Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has admitted that the Democrats have been the group in the Senate holding up funding for DHS. However, in the deal that passed through the Senate for the second time on Thursday, the Dems did not get the immediate goals they wanted to accomplish of taking away funding from ICE and CBP as well as changing policies with the agencies.
When Schumer was asked by Wolfe Blitzer on CNN, "What do you say to those critics who argue that both ICE and border patrol are already set with funding millions and millions of dollars because of President Trump's so called Big, Beautiful Bill that passed months ago? So Democrats just held up this legislation for what for political posturing. Is that right?"
