    Yet even if Democrats succeed in blocking DHS funding, immigration enforcement may continue largely uninterrupted as ICE is permitted to spend the $75 billion it received under the Big Beautiful Bill over as long as four years. If disbursed steadily, that would amount to nearly $29 billion annually—almost triple its recent funding levels.

    By comparison, the Trump Administration’s budget request for the entire Justice Department, including the FBI, stands at just over $35 billion.

    It’s a hard place, they want a shutdown and to be able to blame Dems, but this is the only card federal reps can play.

    We need states fighting this thru other means, or enough Republicans to impeach and convict.
