Donald Trump rejected a deal that would have immediately reopened the Department of Homeland Security and ended the chaos at U.S. airports.

According to reporting from Punchbowl News, Senate Republicans—led by John Thune—approached Trump with a plan to fund all of DHS except ICE. The proposal would have restored funding, ensured TSA agents got paid, and brought stability back to airports across the country.

Democrats were prepared to accept the deal.

Trump said no.

Instead, Trump is demanding Republicans stay in Washington and continue the fight over his immigration agenda and the SAVE America Act. He even warned he would publicly attack GOP senators if they leave for recess.

So let’s be clear about what this means:

There was a deal on the table to reopen DHS and fix the airport chaos—and Trump personally blocked it.

TSA agents are still not being paid. Travelers are still stuck dealing with delays and uncertainty. And the shutdown is now in its 37th day.

This didn’t have to happen.

Donald Trump chose this.
