"Trump rejected the proposal outright, insisting Republicans remain in Washington and continue pushing Democrats to back both DHS funding and the SAVE America Act, a sweeping GOP bill on voter identification and election rules."
"Thune told Trump that Democrats would accept the arrangement, which would keep airport security running and ensure TSA agents are paid, while leaving the ICE dispute to be resolved later."
"Trump wrote: I don't think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT."
President Trump rejected a TSA funding proposal that would have ended the 37-day government shutdown. The plan, supported by Senate Republicans and Democrats, aimed to fund DHS operations while deferring ICE funding. Senate Majority Leader John Thune presented the compromise to Trump, who insisted on continuing negotiations with Democrats for both DHS funding and the SAVE America Act. Trump expressed strong opposition to any deal that reduced ICE funding and emphasized the importance of the SAVE America Act over other Senate matters.
