So are ICE and the National Guard getting paid? I’m sure some of the people in ICE enjoy being assholes for free, but after a while it won’t pay their bills.
ICE is. But even before the shut down, they were jerking the NG around by deploying them for just under the amount of time that it takes to activate all their extra deployment pay.
NG was getting paid when activated, they were getting cut right before housing allowance and other benefits kicked in. But they still got the base daily for being activated.
Now activated guard (for any amount of time) aren’t getting paid.
Why aren’t more people complaining “ICE is getting paid but our troops aren’t” or “ICE is getting paid to kidnap Americans, but your flights are delayed because air traffic controllers aren’t”?
He has a loyal following despite the harm he does to those very people. They live in a completely different world fed by Fox and other right wing grifters. They place the blame for everything bad on Democrats and use bad actors (in the literal “terrible acting” sense) to portray characters like “former Antifa member” and other bullshit.
Its a cult. They have their dear leader who tells them what to think and empowers them be loud and proud about their hateful ideology with memorable catchphrases and slogans and whatnot.

Every source I can find indicates that is false. ICE is not paid during the shutdown. They will be paid when it ends
Additional sources: 1 and 2
Definitive source, although painful to try to read
So, they’re just shooting people in the face for fun. Got it.
At least Soldiers have the gumption to sham during my a shutdown!

Because ICE isn’t getting paid…
Well Trump said he was going to pay them… And I believe today is payday, so I guess we’ll find out soon
I don’t know if you’ve noticed yet, but Trump just lies about everything.
Yes, but he may want his brown shirts paid up and loyal

ICE isn’t being paid. The commenter was incorrect. Any anger would be misplaced
