President Donald Trump voiced his opposition to the bipartisan Senate deal passed<\/a> early Friday morning to end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown.<\/p>\n Trump told Fox News<\/a> on Friday afternoon that \u201cit wasn\u2019t good. It wasn\u2019t appropriate,\u201d specifically mentioning how the proposal does not fund ICE and Border Patrol as part of the agreement.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t have a bill that\u2019s not going to fund any form of law enforcement \u2026 This whole thing is about the Democrats wanting to have open borders, no ICE, no border patrol. These people are crazy,\u201d he said, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n The president has repeatedly called for an end to the Senate\u2019s 60-vote filibuster rule to move legislation forward, including DHS appropriations and the SAVE America Act, which is a voter identification bill.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s comments come after Speaker Mike Johnson and many other House Republicans trashed the Senate proposal and the subsequent departure of senators for a two-week recess for Easter.<\/p>\n Johnson will instead push for a continuing resolution until May 22, which would temporarily fund all of DHS while a longer-term solution for the remainder of the fiscal year is negotiated.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve gone half the fiscal year without a regular paycheck; we cannot ask that of anyone,\u201d Johnson said in reference to TSA officers, who have dealt with the brunt of both the full federal government shutdown last fall and the current shutdown.<\/p>\n
