Why ICE won't shutdown if DHS does |
But Republicans have been quick to point out an irony in that strategy: Regardless of whether funding for DHS lapses after Feb. 13, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, will continue operating. |
The division of the agency most responsible for Democrats' anger — stemming in large part from ICE agents' killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last month — was bolstered in 2025 by billions of dollars from the so-called "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act" that Congress passed. |
| • | Major blow to environmental protection: Former President Barack Obama says the U.S. is "less safe" after the Trump administration repealed the Environmental Protection Agency's "endangerment finding", which has been the legal foundation for regulations targeting man-made greenhouse gases for nearly the last two decades. | | • | New details on Nancy Guthrie suspect: "The suspect is described as a male, approximately 5'9"-5'10" tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter 'Ozark Trail Hiker Pack' backpack," FBI Phoenix confirmed in a social media post Thursday. | | • | If your child kills, does that make you a murderer? A Georgia man whose son is accused of committing a deadly school shooting is standing trial for murder — in what is possibly the most extreme example to date of a movement to hold parents responsible after their children are accused of gun violence. | |
