    Incorrect. The government was in shutdown at the start of this year because funding had already ran out, then it reopened without DHS funding which was later limited to only without ICE funding.

      The One Big Beautiful Bill funded the majority of ICE through the shutdown - some civilian support positions were affected, but enforcement activity stayed pretty much the same. The reduction in coverage is far more likely due to both Noem and Bovino being kicked out of their jobs, taking their high-confrontation tactics with them. Homan is doing the same work, just in a quieter, less confrontational manner.
