Chuck Schumer knew he had no choice,

Democrats demanded this fight.

And now Chuck Schumer delivered one awful ultimatum about ICE to Trump.

Democrats kept pushing the envelope with their unhinged attacks on ICE agents carrying out deportation arrests in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says local police need to “fight ICE.”

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon joined a mob that invaded a church and disrupted services to terrorize the pastor for his work with ICE.

The left hoped to stoke riots like the George Floyd insurrection ahead of the 2026 midterms in the belief that the 2020 uprising delivered Joe Biden the White House.

Democrat anger went nuclear after ICE agents shot and killed a gun-toting agitator who fought officers and resisted arrest.

Chuck Schumer hoped to ride the left’s anger at ICE to a Senate majority in November.

And Schumer knew exactly what his next move needed to be.

Government funding was set to expire in days.

So Schumer announced Senate Democrats would filibuster any spending bill that funded ICE.

“What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common-sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included,” Schumer wrote on X.

RINO Speaker of the House Mike Johnson already agreed to 100 percent of Democrats’ demands in the funding bill that passed the House and headed to the Senate.

The bill provided a billion in funding for transgener surgeries, preserved the Biden car kill switch mandate that allows the government to remotely shut down cars if owners drive too much, and banned Trump from defunding the Department of Education.

Now, Schumer drew a line in the sand on funding Homeland Security.

But the joke was on Schumer.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Trump signed last summer funds ICE for years.

Stopping this funding bill won’t take one dime from ICE.

Democrats already instigated the longest government shutdown in history last fall and walked away with nothing.

Chuck Schumer is about to provoke a government shutdown because Democrats want to eliminate all immigration enforcement.

And the left is willing to wage a two-front war where their agitators fight in the streets and elected officials grind the gears of government to a halt.
