Trump Signs Bill to Fund DHS and ICE Throughout the Rest of His Term

The 80-day long (IIRC) Democrat shutdown resulted in chaos and disruption but ultimately failed.

They're the party of chaos and disruption, riots and "teen takeovers," subway knife attacks and women having their throats slashed open by infinitely-indulged homeless maniacs.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation to fund key immigration enforcement agencies through the end of his term after Congress approved the package via the reconciliation process.

"This morning, I'm thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term," he said at the signing ceremony in the Oval Office.

The legislation followed a record-breaking shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which Democrats orchestrated in a bid to secure immigration enforcement policy concessions. Ultimately, the shutdown ended with Congress passing a bill to fund DHS that excluded funds for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump SIGNS $70 billion in ICE and Border Patrol funding through the end of his term through 2029, meaning Democrats have LOST the ability to hold our border hostage in government shutdowns

BIG WIN! 🇺🇸

"The Secure America Act provides $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Border Patrol to ensure these critical law enforcement agencies of the necessary resources to do their jobs, protecting our borders and getting criminal aliens out of the country."

Supposedly, Republicans added a provision allowing ICE to immediately arrest illegal aliens released from sanctuary jails.

The sleeper win is Senator Eric Schmitt's provision. For the first time, 𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 from prison -- something that was 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞.

"𝘙∗𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮∗𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴", Schmitt said. "𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦".

Was that really not permitted before?

In addition, the law now provides for the salaries of 200 investigators who will track down illegal alien child traffickers, and hopefully find all the children that Joe Biden permitted to be trafficked.

Rotten-hearted grim-faced hag Lisa Murkowski was the only "Republican" to vote against it:
