The White House and Senate Democratic leaders continued to trade offers and kept the details of negotiations private, signaling some hope — but no guarantee of an agreement.
Department of Homeland Security is poised to shut down this weekend as Congress remained deadlocked Thursday on a path forward before leaving town for a weeklong holiday break.
The White House and Democratic leaders have continued to trade offers, signaling some hope for an agreement. But it remains unclear which Democratic demands the White House will agree to when it comes to slapping restraints on immigration enforcement after federal agents killed two American citizens in Minnesota.
With Congress out of town, DHS will shut down beginning at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. That means that federal employees at agencies such as FEMA, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard won’t be paid, though most of them will continue showing up for work because their jobs are considered critical.
I would argue that the coast guard never operates in an area internal to the nation. They obviously operate on the outside edge – it’s in the name.
Yeah… No. A lot of the coast guard’s job is maritime safety. They certify life jackets, ensure vessels are safe, rescue people in danger on the water (including lakes and rivers), and a lot more. They also check port security. Most of their job is internal, even by your definition. Some of it is off the coast, which is still in the territorial waters, so still internal.
Internal would include our territorial waters, which is where they operate.
