White House Rejects Democrats' DHS Proposal as Shutdown Drags
February 18, 2026·7 days ago·via The New York Times
The White House stands firm, rejecting Democrats' latest half-baked proposal as the targeted DHS shutdown stretches into its fifth day since February 14. This mess stems from Dems blocking funding after CBP agents rightfully took down killer Alex Pretti, demanding "reforms" that would handcuff border enforcement and ICE operations. Essential DHS heroes in TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and CBP keep working without pay, thanks to the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act ensuring backpay later.
