ICE emerges as stumbling block in government funding talks

The debate around funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has emerged as a major stumbling block in negotiations to keep the government open beyond Dec. 20, with some lawmakers saying it is a more divisive issue than President Trump's proposed border wall.

Democrats are insisting that the Homeland Security spending bill include drastic cuts to the number of beds ICE has available for detaining immigrants, a move that Republicans argue will lead to weaker border defense.

“I would think the ICE beds are the biggest obstacle,” said Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

Rat media dusting off all of their "Poor Minority Children Deprived of Christmas Due to Trump Shutdown" file footage.

How imaginative.
