Original quoteSo President Trump put out a truth basically saying he's loath to make a deal any concessions with Democrats, but he's willing to give them this five billion dollar cut off of ICE funding if they'll pass the Save America Act. I think we all know that they're not going to take this.

How the call settles
Congress does not pass the Save America Act on the terms of Trump's offered $5 billion ICE funding cut during the DHS funding standoff
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Democrats never took Trump's SAVE America Act-for-ICE-cut trade: the Senate failed to invoke cloture on the SAVE America Act 53-47 on March 26, 2026 (60 needed), and the DHS shutdown was instead ended April 30, 2026 by a bill funding DHS minus ICE and CBP, with no SAVE America Act passage.. Applied stored rule: Congress does not pass the Save America Act on the terms of Trump's offered $5 billion ICE funding cut during the DHS funding standoff.

Democrats never took Trump's SAVE America Act-for-ICE-cut trade: the Senate failed to invoke cloture on the SAVE America Act 53-47 on March 26, 2026 (60 needed), and the DHS shutdown was instead ended April 30, 2026 by a bill funding DHS minus ICE and CBP, with no SAVE America Act passage.
