I need you to vote yes on the Senate DHS funding bill that passed early Friday morning. This legislation funds the Department of Homeland Security through the end of the fiscal year while excluding ICE and Border Patrol from the package. It's the right approach, and the House must pass it immediately. After 42 days of shutdown, airport security delays are creating chaos for travelers and TSA agents have missed paychecks. The Senate reached this agreement by unanimous consent because Democrats refused to give ICE a blank check following the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January. That position was correct then and remains correct now. ICE still has funding from last summer's reconciliation bill, so operations continue uninterrupted. Republicans can pursue their reconciliation process for ICE funding separately, but the rest of DHS cannot wait. Voting against this bill means prolonging the shutdown, punishing TSA workers, and disrupting airports across the country just to protect ICE from accountability. Pass the Senate bill now.
