Republicans accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of “trying to handcuff” immigration enforcement as Democrats refused to advance a bill to keep government open on Thursday.

“Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats are trying to handcuff [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] because their party is committed to open borders,” Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., told The Daily Signal. “We must hold the line and support ICE.”

Schumer, motivated by the immigration enforcement-involved fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, laid out demands for keeping the government open on Wednesday.

Schumer has demanded an end to roving immigration enforcement patrols, a universal code of conduct for federal officers, tightening the use of warrants, mandating the use of body cameras, and establishing use-of-force rules. Schumer also wants to bar these officers from wearing masks while performing their duties. ICE agents and other immigration enforcement officers wear masks due to efforts to dox ICE agents.

Until those demands are met, Schumer has indicated that Democrats will continue to strike down funding legislation for the Department of Homeland Security. ICE, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Border Patrol, and the Transportation Security Administration are all under the department’s purview.

The partial government shutdown deadline is Friday.

In a statement to The Daily Signal, Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., described this as yet “another example of the radical Left prioritizing criminals over American citizens,” and added that Schumer’s demands are “an absolute nonstarter.”

“Republicans see through this and will not ignore the victims who have suffered and died due to the lack of immigration enforcement,” Harris added.

In the Senate, conservative lawmakers such as Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, told The Daily Signal that Schumer’s demands bring Americans closer to experiencing the “lawless days” of the previous administration.

“It’s simple: Democrats want to hamper ICE and Border Patrol because they don’t want to enforce America’s immigration laws or secure borders,” Lee stated. “They dream of returning to the lawless days of [former President] Joe Biden and [former Homeland Security Secretary] Alejandro Mayorkas. But we won’t be sabotaging the courageous men and women of federal law enforcement to make Senator Schumer happy.”

A spokesperson for Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, accused Senate Democrats of “threatening to wreak havoc with another needless shutdown unless ICE is defunded.”

“Chuck Schumer has lost control of his party to far-left lunatics who want to hold the country hostage to pass their radical agenda,” the spokesperson told The Daily Signal.

If Schumer and Senate Republicans were to compromise and draft a similar government funding bill, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., stated that she would “attach” the SAVE Act, which requires voters to present a valid photo ID before casting a ballot, to “any piece of legislation that” is sent back to the lower chamber for approval.

Across the country, nurses appear to be taking up arms—or rather, syringes—in the name of opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement or President Donald Trump.

Hospitals and authorities have quickly responded to prevent any harm, but the trend suggests nurses might seek to weaponize their profession to advance their political views.

The largest nurses’ union has called for the abolition of ICE.

Injecting ICE

On Tuesday, Virginia Commonwealth University Health announced that it fired a nurse after she released social media videos urging medical providers to use a “sabotage tactic” against ICE, preparing syringes with saline or succinylcholine, a muscle relaxant that can cause temporary partial paralysis.

“Following an investigation, the individual involved in the social media videos is no longer employed by VCU Health,” the hospital told Fox News Digital. “In addition, VCU Health has fulfilled its reporting requirements under Virginia state law.”

The hospital previously said it and VCU Police opened an investigation into the nurse.

No Anesthesia for Trump Supporters?

Erik Martindale, a registered nurse in Florida, posted on Facebook that he would deny anesthesia for “MAGA” patients, those in the Make America Great Again movement. He later deleted the post and claimed his account had been hacked.

“I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA” he wrote in the now-deleted post. “It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone!”

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier alerted the Florida Board of Nursing to Martindale’s post.

Wishing Pain on Karoline Leavitt

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced last month that she is pregnant with her second child.

Lexie Lawler, who worked as a labor and delivery nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, posted a social media video saying, “As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Karoline Leavitt a fourth-degree tear.”

The “fourth-degree tear” she mentioned refers to a painful and severe childbirth injury requiring surgical repair.

The hospital fired the nurse, saying the statements “do not reflect our values.”

“While we respect the right to personal opinions, there is no place in health care for language or behavior that calls into question a caregiver’s ability to provide compassionate, unbiased care,” a spokesperson said.

Uthmeier announced Wednesday that Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo had revoked Lawler’s nursing license.

Lawler appears unrepentant. She launched a fundraiser, claiming that she was “fired for political speech.” She has raised more than $13,000 as of Thursday afternoon.

“If you believe liberal women shouldn’t lose their livelihoods for refusing to tone it down, stand with Lexie,” the campaign states.

National Nurses United

While these cases appear disconnected, America’s largest union of nurses released a statement demanding the abolition of ICE.

National Nurses United, which claims to represent 225,000 nurses, condemned the agency following the shooting death of Alex Pretti at the hands of U.S. Border Patrol agents. The agents have been placed on leave amid an investigation.

“The nation’s nurses, who make it their mission to care for and save human lives, are horrified and outraged that immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them,” the union said in a statement after the shooting Saturday.

“ICE and all related immigration enforcement agencies have repeatedly shown through their violence, terror, and lawlessness that they pose a dire public health threat to the entire country and all our communities,” the union added. “Nurses demand the immediate abolition of ICE.”

The union called for a no vote on the Homeland Security appropriations bill, and pledged to do “everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people.”

Harm of Politicizing Medicine

Dr. Kurt Miceli, chief medical officer at Do No Harm, emphasized the damage that politicization poses to medicine.

“As we’ve documented at Do No Harm, if medical schools, associations, and hospitals allow radical politics to influence curricula and training, then they shouldn’t be surprised when they produce harmful activists rather than skilled medical professionals,” Dr. Miceli, a board certified physician in psychiatry and internal medicine, told The Daily Signal in a statement Thursday.

“Healthcare professionals who make violent threats against government employees, political supporters, or public officials abandon the ethical core of their profession and forfeit the trust essential to practicing it,” he added. “Their conduct illustrates how deeply ideological activism has warped the culture of care.”

“Medicine must remain anchored in the duty to treat the patient, keeping politics out of the clinical encounter and rejecting any rhetoric or behavior that compromises ethical practice,” Miceli concluded. “Patients deserve care grounded in ethics, competence, and respect—not animus or politics.”
