| 0:00.0 | Good evening from New York. I'm Antonia Hilton in tonight for Chris Hayes. Throughout the |
| 0:10.4 | 2024 election cycle, Donald Trump promised mass deportations would begin on day one. But now, |
| 0:16.5 | that entire agenda faces a potentially major setback. As the very agency tasked with carrying all those |
| 0:23.3 | deportations out is officially in a shutdown. Funding ran out at midnight on Saturday. Thousands of workers |
| 0:29.4 | in TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard are working without pay. ICE and CBP, however, are still funded by |
| 0:35.9 | Trump's big, beautiful bill, of course. Democrats are demanding reforms to ICE, CBP, however, are still funded by Trump's big, beautiful bill, of course. |

| 1:27.1 | on an issue that has for so long put them on their back foot. |
| 1:31.4 | The White House recognizes this too, and suddenly they are trying to do somewhat of a rebrand, |
| 1:37.0 | quietly shelving some of the loudest, proudest cheerleaders for sweeping deportations. |
| 1:42.3 | DHS Secretary Kristine Ome is reportedly on thin ice right now, |
| 1:45.9 | sidelined by Trump in an Oval Office meeting after facing public backlash for lies told in the |
| 1:51.6 | aftermath of the killings of two Americans. Now a Wall Street Journal investigation is raising |
