Summary
In the past two weeks, four terrorist attacks have struck the United States — in Texas, Michigan, Virginia, and New York. With the war in Iran, Americans have been warned to be vigilant.
So it’s astonishing that Democrats still refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Without funding, airport security is strained, and resources for thousands of federal law enforcement officers, including the U.S. Coast Guard, are cut. This weakens both border and maritime security.
The shutdown is because Democrats want to block support for ICE. But refusing to fund Homeland Security sends a troubling message: that opposing immigration enforcement—and giving Trump a “loss”—matter more than protecting the American people.
Political fights are inevitable, but they shouldn’t come at the expense of Americans’ safety.
Our nation’s security demands seriousness, not partisan posturing.
