The only reason TSA agents are going without pay right now is because Republicans are holding their paychecks hostage so they can shovel more money at ICE and CBP. That's absurd. Republicans need to stop blocking our bill to pay TSA & start getting serious about basic ICE reforms.

You are fcking lying again Patty. The reason they are defunded is because YOU and your comrades defunded DHS.

Liar!

You’ve admitted here in your post that the Dems are holding TSA paychecks hostage by demanding ICE reforms.

DEMOCRATS voted 5 times to NOT fund DHS -so YOU can protect ILLEGALS 😡😡😡

As expected, Patty Murray is lying. The spending bill is H.R. 7147, and Patty has voted to not fund these essential agencies. If you have any doubts, just look at her record on the bill.

Americans know the truth. You can’t erase what democrats have done.

Why not tell the whole story? The democrats want to force how ICE operate. That’s the real reason.

We need ICE and CBP to control illegal immigration. The fact that you are holding TSA funding hostage and creating hardship for Americans so you can defund the agencies that deal with illegal immigration tells us all we need to know about your motives.

Take the dem pork out!

LIAR

Airport lines exist because @PattyMurray and @TheDemocrats care more about aliens than citizens.

Causing shutdowns are NOT the way our Gov is designed to work. Our Immigration Laws have not significantly changed since 1986 and suddenly, Dems don’t like these Laws. The Dems are holding DHS funding by attaching riders/conditions to change the Laws.

Patty you are a filthy Lying Bastard

Let’s remind this idiot how basic math works…

Your staff keeps writing this and lying do you even read what they write? Do you listen to your constituents

I have triple these numbers..... so far... still counting. Cow Patty needs to NOT BE ALIVE for allowing this..... or she can donate her grandkids in exchange.

‼️Murdered because Democrats refuse to cooperate with ICE‼️ This beautiful young woman deserved better.

Hmm wait what ?! ICE reform ? How about stop with the retarded rhetoric that ICE isn’t Federal Law Enforcement when they’re ?! Duh 🙄 !! Maybe learn to STFD and STFU !!

So you want to keep ILLEGAL ALIENS and at the same time block voter ID that 80% of Americans want. Hmmmm can’t imagine why you need that combination… But there you are blaming others when it’s your fault…

Democrats like you repeatedly hold the country hostage and try to blame the victims and the innocent. Democrats are all t3rr0r!sts.

Liar, pathetic liar ICE is funded Stop playing games with people's livelihoods. You shut the govt down, not the Republicans. This is criminal in my opinion.

Liar - ICE was, and is, fully funded. Literally this is about Democrats - your - refusal to support DHS in their efforts to rid this country of illegal aliens. STOP IT. Fund DHS before a disaster hits. You HATE the United States, it's obvious.

Funny how all the Dems voted NO on the single bill to pay TSA. @PattyMurray lies as well as Schumer

wants you to believe this is a simple story: Republicans are holding DHS paychecks hostage to fund ICE. Here's what she left out. ICE isn't waiting on this appropriations bill to operate. Congress already gave ICE roughly $75 billion through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — signed into law last July — funding that runs through 2029 and sits entirely outside the annual appropriations process. The entire DHS shutdown does not defund ICE. It cannot defund ICE. That money is already locked in. So what are Democrats actually doing? They are holding the entire Department of Homeland Security hostage — TSA agents, FEMA disaster relief, the Coast Guard, cybersecurity operations — to force a renegotiation of an agency that was already funded through a completely separate piece of legislation. TSA workers are the most visible casualties of that decision. They are the ones missing paychecks. They are the ones showing up to work anyway while airport lines stretch for hours. They are the human cost of a political strategy. Senator Murray frames this as Republicans choosing ICE over TSA workers. The accurate framing is that Democrats are refusing to fund the entire department — including TSA — unless Republicans agree to rewrite ICE's operating rules. Rules that have nothing to do with whether a TSA agent gets paid this week or whether FEMA can respond to the next disaster. Call that what it is: the same hostage-taking Senator Murray claims to oppose.

TSA is not separate from customs and border patrol. It is like you want to fund courtrooms but not jails, or emergency rooms but not surgical suits. The mission has multiple components.
