People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.
People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

Yeah this was a pretty good deal today - shutting down the whole govt just puts more pressure on dems.
i don't think this is as bad as people are saying
separating dhs from the rest is a solid strategic start -- it's what they were going for, a long shutdown on everything will break the dems apart, just on this they can hold more or less indefinitely

Democrats and the White House agreed to separate Homeland Security funding from the government spending legislation that will avert a shutdown.

The criticism of democrats reminds of that movie “Small Soldiers” with the Gorgonites being predisposed to collaboration and being collegial.

Bill Melugin of Fox News may be the best-sourced journalist within ICE and CBP. If he's hearing this, the administration has a real problem.

More Americans say the shooting of Alex Pretti was not justified than say it was justified. Those who have seen video overwhelmingly say it was not justified.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing the man. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.
UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:
