❝I understand that many of my Democratic colleagues may be dissatisfied with any bill that funds ICE. …[But]… The Homeland Security funding bill is more than just ICE. If we allow a lapse in funding, TSA agents will be forced to work without pay, FEMA assistance could be delayed, and the US Coast Guard will be adversely affected….❞
