"Trump stated, 'You can't have a bill that's not going to fund ICE. You can't have a bill that's not going to fund any form of law enforcement, of which ICE is a big form, and so is Border Patrol.'"
"'Well, it wasn't good. It wasn't appropriate. Now what they should do is they should terminate the filibuster, Jacqui, and just vote,' Trump said regarding the Senate measure."
"'It should happen quickly [Office of Management and Budget Director] Russell Vought would give you the exact information,' Trump mentioned about the funding for TSA agents."
"'This whole thing is about the Democrats wanting to have open borders, no ICE, no border patrol,' Trump asserted."
President Trump expressed strong disapproval of a Senate bill that excluded funding for ICE and Border Patrol, deeming it inappropriate. The bill, which passed unanimously in the Senate, was rejected by the House, prolonging the government shutdown. Following this, Trump signed an executive order to ensure TSA agents receive their pay. He emphasized the necessity of funding law enforcement agencies like ICE and Border Patrol, attributing the situation to Democrats' desire for open borders.
