President Donald Trump on Thursday insisted that the Republican Party was united in its effort to funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as Congress works to end the protracted shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The shutdown is nearing the 50-day mark as Democrats have refused to fund the agency without major immigration policy concessions. Ultimately, Republicans devised a plan to fund most of DHS, but to provide ICE and CBP funding in a reconciliation bill, which will not need Democratic support.

"Thank you to all of our Great Congressional Republicans, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Senate Leader John Thune, for their work this week," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Republicans are UNIFIED, and moving forward on a plan that will reload funding for our FANTASTIC Border Patrol and Immigration Enforcement Officers. Because the Democrats are fully and 100% committed to the Radical Left Policy of Open Borders and Zero Immigration Enforcement (which will hopefully cost them dearly in the Midterms!), allowing Murderers and Criminals of all types into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted, I will soon sign an order to pay ALL of the incredible employees at the Department of Homeland Security."

"Their families have suffered far too long at the hands of the Extreme Liberal 'Leaders,' Cryin’ Chuck Schumer and Hakeem 'High Tax' Jeffries," he went on. "Nevertheless, help is on the way for our Brave and Patriotic Public Servants who have continued to work hard, and do their part to protect and defend our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Trump previously set a deadline of June 1 for Congress to send him the reconciliation bill.
