ABC's Jon Karl Battles Sen. Chris Van Hollen on DHS Shutdown
- On Sunday, ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl pressed Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen on his party's role in the partial government shutdown, which has left the Department of Homeland Security largely without funding.
- Karl questioned why Democrats are withholding funding for the department when Immigration and Customs Enforcement remains funded with $75 billion from last year's budget bill, leaving other agencies without resources.
- Van Hollen argued his party advocates for funding the Transportation Security Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Coast Guard, but insisted, "We are not prepared to give ICE another $10 billion" for what he termed "lawless operations."
- Karl retorted that resistance to the additional $10 billion for ICE effectively blocks funding for other DHS agencies. Van Hollen disputed this as a "false statement," claiming his party is not the obstacle.
- The shutdown, ongoing for more than 40 days, has caused massive airport delays. President Donald Trump deployed ICE agents to assist at airports and signed an executive order ensuring TSA agents receive pay.
