Show Notes
Senator Susan Collins blames Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown, now in its fortieth day, due to their refusal to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol. The Senate voted unanimously to keep most of the Department of Homeland Security running, including FEMA, the Coast Guard, and the Transportation Security Administration. However, the House still needs to approve the DHS package to fully restore these agencies. The shutdown has caused widespread flight delays and missed connections, with Democrats pushing for significant changes to ICE operations following recent deadly shootings. Republicans proposed restrictions on ICE enforcement at schools and hospitals, more checks on detention centers, and better officer identification, but Democrats held firm with too many demands.
