President Donald Trump said on March 22 that Congress should not pass a measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until Democrats help support a bill that requires people registering to vote to provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
In an evening post on Truth Social, the president said that Republicans in Congress should not make “any deal” with Democrats over funding DHS until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also called the SAVE America Act, is passed with Democratic support. DHS has remained unfunded since Feb. 13, leading to some Transportation Security Administration shortfalls at major U.S. airports.
