Priceless: Democrats Accidentally Lock Themselves Out of ICE Detention Facilities and Can’t Get Back in Without Help
The article highlights the irony surrounding the Democratic Party’s role in the ongoing goverment shutdown, notably focusing on how the shutdown has hindered Democratic lawmakers’ ability to visit Immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) detention facilities. Due to the shutdown,which Democrats supported through repeated votes,oversight provisions in existing funding laws were suspended,preventing congressional access to these facilities. Meanwhile, ICE is now operating under new funding rules established during the Trump administration, which do not require such access.
Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, sarcastically remarks that Democrats, who often stage public protests to support illegal immigrants, might now reconsider their position since they no longer have the appropriations riders that previously allowed them to attempt to storm ICE facilities.
The article also references past incidents where Democratic lawmakers, including Rep.Maxine Waters, were physically barred from entering federal buildings and ICE facilities, emphasizing the futility and comedic nature of these attempts. It suggests that the Democrats are primarily focused on opposing former President Trump, which influences their actions regarding the shutdown. Ultimately, the article portrays the Democrats’ shutdown strategy as backfiring, as even their allies are pushing to end the stalemate.
Oh, the delicious irony!
If not for Democrats’ destructive ideas and demonic bloodlust, they would provide an endless source of unintentional comedy.
For instance, according to Politico, the ongoing government shutdown, for which nearly all Democratic senators have repeatedly voted, has prevented Democratic legislators from gaining access to detention facilities run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
In sum, when the Democrats shut down the government, they rendered inoperative the provisions of existing funding laws. Those provisions required on-demand access for members of Congress tasked with oversight duties.
At present, however, ICE no longer operates under those funding laws. Instead, the agency now operates under President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which does not require congressional access.
Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, seemed to revel in the irony.
“While the Democrats may not care about shutting down the government and making millions of public servants go without a paycheck, maybe they will get back to work now that they have lost the precious appropriations rider they rely on to try to storm ICE facilities,” McLaughlin said.
Democrats, of course, love nothing more than a public stunt in which they can showcase support for illegal alien criminals.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party in its current manifestation exists only to harm Trump.
Clearly, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer believed that the government shutdown would do exactly that.
Now, however, Democrats’ own allies have pressured them to reopen the government immediately.
What did Schumer and his merry band of nincompoops think would happen if they prolonged the stalemate?
In any event, the thought of ICE officials turning legislators away from detention facilities reminds us of similar instances earlier this year.
Who can forget, for instance, the lone security guard who barred Democrat lawmakers from entering the Department of Education building in February? That particular group of miscreants included Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California.

Likewise, recall law-enforcement officials slamming a door on Waters when she tried to enter an ICE facility in June.
Rep. Maxine Waters just had the door of an ICE facility slammed in her face by a cop
Give this man a raise

The look on Waters’ face when she realized her insignificance and impotence is pure comedy gold.
At least we know that something positive can come from Democrats’ lunacy.
