Democrats have blocked a DHS package, insisting on funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard but not for ICE and CBP; a full DHS funding measure failed to reach the 60-vote threshold in the Senate. The shutdown has disrupted TSA operations,with agents calling out or quitting and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >creating long airport lines<\/a>. Democrats are pushing for restrictions on ICE, such as warrants before entering private property and ending masked enforcement, in response to January shootings. The piece also notes DHS emergency measures affecting agencies like TSA, FEMA, and CBP, and mentions separate incidents including federal activity in Minnesota over welfare fraud concerns involving Somali migrants. Additionally, Trump\u2019s nomination of Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace DHS security chief Kristi Noem advanced to a final vote, with some Democratic Senators breaking ranks in support.The article is a republished briefing from the Daily Caller News Foundation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump took advantage of a verbal flub by Democratic New York Sen.

Democrats have blocked funding for the entire Department of Homeland Security because of ICE operations, and a recent bid to fund the whole department failed to reach the required 60 votes. In a video Trump posted on Sunday, Schumer\u2019s remark that \u201cWe must fund ICE\u201d was highlighted after he briefly misspoke, with Trump thanking him for the correction. The shutdown\u2019s impact has been most visible in TSA workers calling out or quitting, causing long airport lines.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats say they are willing to fund other DHS agencies-such as the TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard-so long as ICE and CBP are not funded under the package, and they have pressed for new restrictions on ICE following deadly incidents related to immigration enforcement. They cite related federal deployments in Minnesota and other enforcement controversies. Separately, Trump\u2019s nomination of Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace DHS Secretary Kristi Noem progressed to a final vote, with some Democratic senators breaking with their party.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like a longer, more detailed paraphrase or a version in a different tone, tell me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2582797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_7303.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[6513,8364,5894,4411,3634],"class_list":["post-2582796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-funding","tag-ice","tag-politics","tag-schumer","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_7303.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2582796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2582796"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2582796\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2582800,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2582796\/revisions\/2582800"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2582797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2582796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2582796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2582796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
