Schumer pushes back as Trump ties DHS funding to voter-ID crackdown
TL;DR
As the DHS funding deadline nears amid a partial government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rejects Donald Trump’s demand to pass the Save America Act—a strict voter-ID bill—before approving DHS funding; Democrats say they’ll back standalone funding for TSA and other non-immigration components while seeking guardrails on immigration enforcement. Trump counters by deploying ICE to airports, intensifying the clash over immigration and voting-law policy.
