From Fox News: Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said Sunday he would accept Democrats’ proposal to reopen the government without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arguing Republicans could later pass immigration enforcement funding without Democratic support.
“I would accept the Democrats’ offer to open up everything except ICE at DHS. Then, the very next day, I would pass a reconciliation bill which crafts a budget for ICE,” Kennedy told “Sunday Night in America” host Trey Gowdy.
“We can do it without any Democratic votes. Certainly the Democrats are welcome to join us. We can do it with all Republican votes. That’s how we passed the One Big, Beautiful Bill…”
Kennedy said the current standoff is unnecessarily prolonging the partial government shutdown and hurting federal workers.
Kennedy noted that the Democrat are never going to vote to approve anything to do with ICE, , and argued this may be the only way to get the shutdown ended.
