“Wait times have improved since ICE arrived and they are doing everything in their power to help their fellow federal service members. But it's important to take a step back and remember why is this even happening in the first place? For nearly six weeks, Democrats in Congress have kept DHS shut down because they care more about illegal aliens than American citizens.
