SAVE Act Voter ID & DHS Shutdown Fight
Key Questions
How long has the DHS shutdown lasted?
The DHS shutdown has exceeded 70 days, marking it as the longest on record. This has led to significant backlogs, issues with TSA and FEMA operations, and an exodus involving Vought.
What is the Senate GOP immigration funding framework?
The Senate GOP has proposed an immigration funding framework providing full funding for ICE and CBP through reconciliation, though the House has not yet acted on it. It passed a procedural vote in the Senate (Mullin Sec 54-45) as part of a 'skinny' reconciliation excluding Democrats.
What is Trump's deadline for the reconciliation bill?
President Trump has set a June 1 deadline for a 'skinny' reconciliation bill excluding Democrats. This is tied to ongoing shutdown negotiations and immigration funding efforts.
What recent ICE activities have occurred?
ICE has conducted arrests in Missouri as part of enforcement actions. These align with broader immigration funding pushes amid the DHS shutdown.
What anti-fraud measures are highlighted?
VP Vance issued an anti-fraud executive order, alongside DOJ budget cuts and proposals for $10T in cuts by Arrington/Vought for FY27. Related efforts include a White House Task Force redirecting resources to a National Fraud Enforcement Division.
