President Donald Trump has put Republicans in a bind on the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, by insisting that any deal with Democrats must include the SAVE America Act, his sweeping bill to overhaul elections nationwide. This strategy involves tying one bill that Democrats oppose with restrictions on immigration enforcement, and hoping that this will persuade Democrats to support both bills. However, both parties have dismissed this idea, with Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., Sen. John Thune, D-S.D., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, calling it "ridiculous" and "callous". The Supreme Court is considering a case that could have significant midterm implications.
