Senate Dems are saying they will not vote for a budget extension if it includes funding for I.C.E.

Do you think they will stick to this, even if it leads to another Gub'mint shutdown or will they cave?

Cut DHS spending and I personally hope they do not approve the increase in military spending....for what? To cause more chaos and alienate our allies?
