SEN JOHN KENNEDY: Democrats’ anti-ICE tantrum leaves Republicans with one option going forward

Senator John Kennedy criticizes Senate Democrats for a 70-day shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming their opposition stems from fear of their progressive base rather than genuine reform. He accuses Democrats of prioritizing ideological goals over national security and federal workers' livelihoods, while highlighting Republican efforts to fund ICE operations and border security.
