Democrats Shut Down DHS, Attempting to Force Trump to Accept Biden's Open Borders Regime As the Law of the Land

DHS funding ran out last Friday.

Due to the Democrat shutdown:

- TSA agents are working without pay
- FEMA workers are working without pay
- DHS employees are working without pay.

Meanwhile, Democrats have just announced a "Trans Bill of Rights."

These unserious politicians need to be voted out.

Ironically, the incompetent Democrat Theater-Kids and Groomers aren't shutting down ICE at all, which was fully funded for a year under the Big Beautiful Bill:

Nick Sortor @nicksortor

BREAKING: The US Senate has just FAILED to advance the DHS funding bill, which means DHS will likely shutdown tomorrow night

Fetterman was the lone Democrat to vote in favor.

These idiots aren’t shutting down ICE, because ICE is FULLY FUNDED for the year.

They’re shutting down the Coast Guard, TSA, Cybersecurity agencies, and more. Democrats are putting our country at risk for PURE POLITICS.

Disgusting.

For his part, Trump's playing hardball.

If you recall, when Republicans have shut the government down, Democrats have always employed what is called "the Washington Monument Strategy" to make shutdowns as painful as possible for the public. They not only shut down parks, but they had park personnel, who were on furlough, act like cops and chase visitors out.

Obama even had Rangers working near Mount Rushmore drag chains across a turn-off on a local road to keep people from parking their cars just to look at the monument.

They spent government money, in short, during a shutdown to punish the public so that they'd pressure Republicans to cave.

Trump is taking a page from the Democrats.

President Donald Trump's administration has ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency to suspend the deployment of hundreds of aid workers to disaster-affected areas around the country while the Department of Homeland Security is shut down, internal messages reviewed by Reuters showed.

DHS, which FEMA is part of, entered a partial shutdown on Saturday, but has largely continued to operate since most of its functions are deemed essential. The shutdown happened after Republicans and Democrats failed to reach a deal on immigration enforcement reforms.

"DHS has issued a stop-travel order for all DHS funded travel, effecting 2/18/26, for the duration of the lapse in appropriation. Currently this DOES include disaster travel," according to an internal email sent by Kurt Weirich, a chief of staff at FEMA.

More than 300 FEMA disaster responders were preparing for upcoming assignments but were told to stand down, including some who are currently at a training facility, CNN reported earlier.

A Maryland sewer line just burst and is pumping in tons and tons of unprocessed shit and piss into the Potomac.

But FEMA's not coming.

The freeze comes after Trump said on Monday the federal government will step in to protect the Potomac River following the collapse of a major sewer pipe in the Washington, D.C., region last month.

A sewer line in Montgomery County, Maryland, collapsed on Jan. 19, causing an overflow of more than 240 million gallons (909 million liters) of wastewater into the Potomac River.

Trump said FEMA, which has seen significant staff cuts since he took office in January 2025, will coordinate the response. So far, however, FEMA has deployed few, if any, resources to assist with the sewage spill, CNN reported, citing three agency officials.

CNN has never before objected to the Washington Monument Strategy. Suddenly they're all "But the public shouldn't suffer for Washington's squabbles!"

This is the Democrat Party -- the Party of Illegal Aliens. The Party Against the American People.

The Democrats' position on illegal immigration: You, the American citizen, are the real problem that needs to be solved.

The Democrats are now arguing that it's not illegal aliens who make up the "worst of the worst" criminals -- it's Americans.

So you should all deport yourselves.

I keep seeing this argument and it's so logically flawed it's ridiculous. Even if it's true, we shouldn't have to tolerate ANY lawbreaking from anyone who shouldn't be here, whereas we have obligations to fellow citizens.

This is the propaganda they're running against ICE -- telling people that ICE is randomly kidnapping US citizen girls, apparently with the intent to rape them. Note the end features a "Republican congressman" sexually menacing the girl.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the "non-colonizer" world: If a foreigner steps out of line, he gets booted across the border. And a foreigner isn't allowed to start demanding the country he's a guest in start changing to better accommodate his very foreign tastes.

Meanwhile: The Grooming Party continues grifting from weird pervert billionaires.
