“Democrats have shut down DHS as a result of they wish to endanger our regulation enforcement officers and ICE brokers by making them present ID,” Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) warns relating to the partial authorities shutdown led by Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Democrats have brought on a shutdown of the Division of Homeland Safety (DHS) by filibustering a invoice to proceed funding it – until the funding invoice incorporates provisions crippling and endangering U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) brokers working to implement federal immigration regulation.
Democrats are demanding that the funding invoice not solely present funding, but additionally prohibit ICE brokers from carrying masks and require them to put on IDs on their uniforms, which might allow violent, pro-illegal immigration activists to establish and goal them.
“Republican management can not cave to those radicals,” Rep. Steube says in a X.com publish:
“Democrats have shut down DHS as a result of they wish to endanger our regulation enforcement officers and ICE brokers by making them present ID.
“These are similar individuals who say voter ID is racist. Republican management can not cave to those radicals.”
“They’re merely placing that there in order that these officers can then be doxed,” Rep. Steube explains in video from an interview embedded in his publish:
“You’ve seen these officers be doxed all throughout the nation. They’re staying in lodges and all these individuals present up on the lodge, discover out they’re staying there. And, it’s actually taking place in Minneapolis and a few of these Democrat-run cities. No, completely not. They shouldn’t must be compelled to have their IDs.”
….
“They need ICE brokers to have their IDs, however they don’t need voters who vote in our nation’s elections to have IDs and present that they’re truly residents of our nation to vote in our elections.”
“The hypocrisy is past the pale,” Rep. Steube says.

“@ChuckSchumer thinks defending federal elections is racist,” Steube says in a separate publish on the Senate Democrats’ opposition to Republicans’ SAVE Act requiring voter ID:
“That is precisely why the Senate must nuke the filibuster. If the SAVE Act is ‘Jim Crow 2.0,’ then so is:
– Boarding a airplane
– Shopping for alcohol
– Cashing a test at a financial institution
– Choosing up prescription treatment
The record goes on and on. 84% of People help voter ID. Finish the filibuster. Move the SAVE Act.”
The SAVE Act has handed the Home and, just like the DHS funding invoice, is being held up within the Senate by a Democrat filibuster.
