Bennie Thompson: “I want to applaud Chairwoman Clarke for the recent passage of the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure…”

There you have it. House Republicans have an hour to debate a nonbinding symbolic resolution but not even a few seconds to do the job that would actually pay our DHS workers. This is the Republican DHS shutdown.

This unlawful policy is a smokescreen to deny Member visits to ICE offices across the country, which are holding migrants – and sometimes even U.S. citizens – for days at a time.

At a time when DHS is rightly warning about an elevated threat environment from terrorists and cartels, we should be focused on plugging security gaps rather than senselessly creating new ones.

The department was using flat out wrong anti-union talking points.
