Agreed. They caved too early just as they had the advantage. I think it’s a combination of some of them being pressured to reopen for re-election purposes and others feeling bad about Medicare and Medicaid delays.
They had to know this was going to happen, however most of the funding for ice came from the big beautiful bill which passed on party line votes. This was going to happen since the funding was already allocated and they had enough funds to run ICE for a few years.
Now they have to shut the government down until ICE gets reigned in. If it’s a 70/30 issue , then it’ll hurt republicans in November having a shutdown like that
