ICE is separately funded for the rest of the year. All of the worst parts are already funded. This shuts down the services and benefits for regular people.

Dems should still stand their ground though.

So the cool thing about government shutdowns is that all the stuff you think wouldn’t be funded like ICE, or the Military, still is. But all the stuff that people rely on like federal services, healthcare, etc, somehow has to shut down.

Now of course, the dems could have changed this anytime they wanted to under Obama or Clinton, with a simple majority vote, basically making government be funded at the previous years levels, but they didn’t want to for some reason. I can’t imagine why.

They’ll find ways. But it would be great to watch them turn on eachother because they’re not getting paid.
