Democrats’ goal is ‘power’ over national security in DHS shutdown: Joe Concha

Published



Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said Monday that congressional Democrats “don’t seem to care” about the nation’s security as the partial government shutdown continues.

The Department of Homeland Security has been operating without funding since Feb. 14. Some network anchors have asked if it’s “responsible” for Democrats to hold up this funding as the United States faces potential terrorist attacks amid the military operation in Iran, “Operation Epic Fury,” to which Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Republicans have voted down these attempts. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Sunday he won’t fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but would be willing to fund other DHS agencies.
