"Democrats sent Republicans our counteroffer on legislation to reopen DHS, pay TSA workers, while at the same time rein in ICE with commonsense guardrails. Our offer is a reasonable, good-faith proposal."
"It's not even close to being real. They know better."
"They funded ICE with the big, beautiful bill. But their contention is that they can use that money however they deem necessary, without any constraints."
"People are going to get hurt. I went down there a couple days ago to tell the president there was a deal with the Senate. And now, all of a sudden, they've fundamentally changed the deal they agreed to."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer presented a counteroffer to Senate Majority Leader John Thune regarding DHS funding, which Thune dismissed as insincere. Schumer's proposal aims to reopen DHS and pay TSA workers while imposing limits on ICE funding. Thune plans to propose a Republican funding plan for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, but it is expected to lack the necessary votes. Democrats clarified their stance against additional ICE funding, asserting that previous funding was sufficient and should not be used without constraints.
