    U.S. Rep. Bob Onder said it’s possible that lawmakers may not come up with an agreement to keep the federal government fully open past Friday. While lawmakers passed a number of appropriations bills, they held off on passing a measure funding the Department of Homeland Security, which could disrupt the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Transportation Safety Administration. Democrats have demanded that the Homeland Security funding bill include guardrails, especially after ICE and Border Patrol’s actions in Minnesota drew nationwide outrage. On the latest edition of the Politically Speaking podcast, Onder acknowledged that he was “disturbed” by what went on in Minneapolis and other places around the country. But he also criticized states that allow sanctuary cities which limit cooperation with federal immigration officials.
