HOUSE GOP STRIKES BACK: Furious Republicans Move to ADD ICE Funding and Voter ID to Senate’s DHS Garbage Deal With Democrats — Will Force ‘Cowardly Senators’ Back to D.C.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN)
House Republicans are done playing games with the Senate’s latest RINO surrender.
In the early hours of Friday morning, the Senate, reportedly with only five senators present, passed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding package by voice vote.
But there was a catch.
The bill conveniently excluded full funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and key components of Customs and Border Protection, the very agencies responsible for immigration enforcement, deportation operations, and cracking down on criminal illegal alien activity, including drug and sex trafficking.
Thune left D.C. immediately following the betrayal, reportedly escorted by a private detail for a two-week Easter recess.

The House Freedom Caucus and MAGA patriots aren’t letting this surrender stand. Republicans in the House are already moving to amend the Senate’s pathetic offering, intending to force the Senate to actually do its job.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced that the House Republicans will amend the garbage deal, restoring funding for ICE and adding a voter ID requirement.
Rep. Ogles: “So what the Senate did last night was they passed a bill that did not fully fund the government, meaning child sex trafficking investigation unit isn’t funded. They didn’t fully fund Homeland Security. So we’re focused on amending the bill and putting that back in, and we’re going to add in voter ID in the process. They’re cowardly. They didn’t do their job, and now they left town. They should come back and they should have to do their job.”
WATCH:
Senate Democrats coalesced to pass an America LAST funding bill that defunds ICE and CBP.
I would be a traitor to my country to vote for a bill that lets illegal RAPISTS and HUMAN TRAFFICKERS escape justice. I do not work for the Senate or their lobbyist bosses.

According to NOTUS, House Speaker Mike Johnson is preparing to put a 60-day continuing resolution (CR) on the floor this weekend.
This CR would fund all of DHS, including the critical ICE operations the Senate tried to kill.
Majority Whip Tom Emmer reportedly informed members that President Trump has given the “go-ahead” to pursue this strategy to protect the homeland.
Instead, they’ll be voting on a 60-day CR, extending funding for ALL of DHS
GREAT! Deportations MUST be fully funded! pic.twitter.com/Ql7XcBls82

One Democratic House Victory in Nebraska Could Hand Republicans the Presidency — Here’s How
Democrats are targeting a key House pickup in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, but the outcome could increase the chances of a Republican winning the presidency in 2028.
RINO Congressman Don Bacon is not seeking reelection in November, creating an open race and a major opportunity for Democrats to pick up a tightly contested House seat.
The Democratic frontrunner, state Sen. John Cavanaugh, would be required to give up his seat in Nebraska’s unicameral legislature if elected to Congress.
His replacement would be appointed by the state’s Republican governor, Jim Pillen.
Republicans are currently one seat short of a filibuster-proof supermajority in the legislature.
Should they gain that additional seat, they would have the votes needed to advance legislation without Democratic support.
That could include changes to Nebraska’s congressional maps, potentially making the 2nd District more favorable to Republicans, as well as efforts to eliminate the state’s split Electoral College system.
Nebraska is one of two states that allocates electoral votes by congressional district.
The 2nd District has recently provided Democrats with a single electoral vote, including in the 2024 presidential election, when Kamala Harris carried the district.
In a closely contested national election, that single electoral vote could prove significant.
Without the split system, Nebraska would award all of its electoral votes to the statewide winner.
Democrats believe they can offset any loss by winning additional legislative seats in upcoming elections.
“We’re prepared that we might lose [Cavanaugh’s] seat. So that means we have to pick up a few more this cycle,” Nebraska Democratic Party chair Jane Kleeb told Politico.
In recent years, Democrats have successfully blocked efforts to redraw district boundaries and change how the state allocates its electoral votes.
If Republicans secure a supermajority, those constraints would be removed, allowing them to revisit those proposals ahead of the 2028 election cycle.
Meanwhile, the retirement of Don Bacon is no great loss to the Republican Party.
Last November, Bacon admitted he also resigned from Congress in protest of President Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine.
He denounced the proposal as the “Witkoff Ukrainian surrender plan,” referring to Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who helped craft it.
However, he said that he intended to honor his “commitment to our constituents to fulfill my term.”
JOE BIDEN and KAMALA HARRIS both won the Omaha based seat.
This will become a prime pickup opportunity for Democrats in 2026.
