""It is absolutely offensive to the people that we represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn't fund Border Patrol and the four core components of ICE," Freedom Caucus member Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said Friday morning."
""Could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn't do the job and then leave town?" Roy added."
""It's not going to affect the airports if we don't do this today," Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris (R-Md.) told reporters."
""You're not supposed to bring it by suspension. That's the rule," Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) told Axios."
The Senate voted to pass a bill reopening the Department of Homeland Security, excluding funding for ICE and Customs and Border Protection. House Freedom Caucus members expressed strong opposition, stating they would not support DHS funding without additional provisions for voter ID, border patrol funding, and child sex trafficking investigations. GOP leadership has not clarified their next steps, while conservatives caution against using suspension for the bill, which would require Democratic support. The Freedom Caucus believes a revised bill could be quickly passed when the Senate reconvenes.
