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.
March 27, 2026
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN)
House Republicans are done playing games with the Senate’s latest RINO surrender.
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.
WATCH: Vance Torches Senate for Planning Vacation Amid DHS Shutdown, Calls Filibuster Defense the ‘DUMBEST Political Argument,’ Demands They Nuke It to Pass SAVE America Act
March 27, 2026
Vice President JD Vance torched Senate Republican leadership on Friday for preparing to leave town for a two-week recess while the partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security drags on and the SAVE America Act remains stalled by a Democratic filibuster.
In an interview with Benny Johnson, Vance made clear that Congress has urgent business that cannot wait.
When asked directly whether the Senate should go on recess right now, Vance responded, “No, of course not. Of course not. We should at least, the very minimum product that we should get before anybody’s going on recess is, let’s reopen the Department of Homeland Security!”
Vance also eviscerated the argument for protecting the filibuster, calling it “the DUMBEST political argument I have ever seen.”
“So, when Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski say, ‘well, we need to protect the filibuster because the Democrats, they’re not going to do it. So, we shouldn’t do it either,’” Vance continued. “The Democrats ruined the career of Kyrsten Sinema for not overruling the filibuster. They’re going to do it. So, we might as well do it now to enforce the protection of the American electoral system.”
The VP stated that he is “ready today” to cast the tie-breaking vote if 50 Senate Republicans have the courage to eliminate the filibuster and advance the bill.

BREAKING: VP JD Vance EVISCERATES the Senate for going on vacation, says the filibuster must be nuked so the SAVE America Act can pass
He nailed it!
“It’s the DUMBEST political argument I have ever seen!”
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, formally H.R. 7296, requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote and valid photo identification to cast a ballot in federal elections.
The bill passed the House earlier this year and has been a top priority for President Trump, who has repeatedly pressed Senate Republicans to take it up and, if necessary, change Senate rules to overcome Democratic opposition.
Senate currently lacks the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster.
Republicans are divided on whether to nuke the procedural hurdle.
The inability to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security has caused widespread TSA staffing shortages, flight delays, and long security lines at airports across the country.
BREAKING: Chaos Erupts as House Leaders Reject Senate-Passed Bill to Fund DHS as Senators Flee DC for Two-Week Recess (VIDEO)
March 27, 2026
House Freedom Caucus leaders on Friday rejected a Senate-passed DHS funding bill as Senators leave town for a two-week Easter recess.
The Senate very early Friday morning, after a marathon session, unanimously approved a voice-vote package to fund the Department of Homeland Security, except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and key parts of Customs and Border Protection.
Democrats flat-out refused to support full funding without gutting immigration raids and deportation operations.
Instead of fighting for the full funding, Thune and the Senate GOP folded in the dead of night, when no one was watching.
Thune then left town with a private escort.
Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) on Friday morning said the Freedom Caucus leaders are going to flat-out reject the Senate’s bill.
“What the Senate just sent over to the House is so laughably bad – uh, we’re rejecting it out of hand,” Chip Roy said.
He continued, “They sent over a bill that’s not gonna fund ICE and Border Patrol and stand with the great men and women that are defending our country. We reject that. We’re gonna stand along side our law enforcement personnel. We’re gonna have a full-throated debate. We’re gonna decide what we’re gonna do but suffice it to say, we’re gonna stand with those who are standing up for us for defending our country. We need to fully fund them… we’re not gonna move this Senate bill.”
“We’re gonna move something better and we’re gonna send it back to the Senate,” he added.
Many Senators have already left town so if the House agrees on a bill it will be stalled in the Senate – once again.

Chip Roy, flanked by other Freedom Caucus members like Andy Biggs, blasted the Senate bill in remarks to the media.
“It is absolutely offensive to the people that we represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn’t fund Border Patrol and the core components of ICE,” he said.
“Could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn’t do the job and then leave town? So we’re going to stand up and say NO to that. We’re going to send back a bill that’s responsible to the American people,” he said.

Over 100,000 residents in California lost power on Thursday night.

A massive power outage left tens of thousands of people without electricity Thursday night across South Orange County and parts of San Diego County.
San Diego Gas & Electric reported that more than 100,000 customers were initially affected. Video taken near the Civic Center in Mission Viejo showed one of the areas impacted by the blackout. Other areas that were impacted included Laguna Hills and Laguna Niguel.
The cause of the outage was not immediately known.
“We understand how disruptive outages can be and are working to investigate the cause,” said SDG&E in a statement. “The safety of our customers, employees and communities remains our top priority.”
“Power has been fully restored to customers affected by a widespread outage impacting multiple communities in North San Diego County and Orange County this evening,” stated SDGE.
“We understand how disruptive outages can be and are working to investigate the cause,” added SDGE.
In recent years, California has suffered major power outages across the state.
MUST WATCH: Video of ICE Agents Cracking Up Laughing at Whiny Liberal at LaGuardia Calling Them ‘Foot Soldiers of a Fascist Regime’ Goes Viral
March 27, 2026
A video taken at LaGuardia Airport showing ICE agents laughing at a leftist activist confronting them and whining that they are “foot soldiers of a fascist regime” is going viral on social media.
The clip, which began circulating widely on X on Friday afternoon, shows a group of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations agents in tactical vests walking through the terminal when the activist approaches and begins heckling them.
“You guys are the foot soldiers of a fascist regime, right? Is that not what it is?” the man shouts at them, repeating the insult while the agents grin and eventually burst into laughter.
“Is that funny? Is that funny?” he presses as the agents continue walking and trying to hold back their giggles.

“They say speak truth to power, so I did just that. Confronted a fascist to his face today at LaGuardia. His reaction? A smirk. This is what we’re up against, but we aren’t staying silent,” the activist captioned the video posted on the No Kings USA Instagram account.
The goofy confrontation comes days after the Trump administration deployed hundreds of ICE agents to more than a dozen major U.S. airports, including LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, Atlanta, Houston, and others, to assist TSA operations.
The move began on Monday amid a partial government shutdown that left many TSA officers unpaid, triggering widespread staffing shortages, resignations, and hours-long security lines for people traveling.
ICE agents were assigned to crowd management, logistics support, and general airport operations to help keep lines moving while the Democrat tantrum over DHS funding continued.
No official statement has been released by ICE or DHS specifically addressing this confrontation, but the agency has emphasized that its personnel are focused on supporting safe and efficient travel during the funding impasse.
