In his State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, President Donald Trump sharply criticized Democrats for blocking funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), branding it a “Democrat shutdown” that threatens U.S. security. Trump demanded immediate restoration of DHS funding and defended his hardline immigration enforcement, including praise for ICE and border security gains. The speech, delivered amid a partial DHS shutdown and intense political fights over immigration policy, highlights deep partisan divides and the looming impact on agencies like TSA, FEMA and CBP.

00:00As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
00:08It's all cut off. It's all cut off.
00:11They have instituted another Democrat shutdown, the first one costing us two points on GDP.
00:18Two points we lost on GDP, which probably made them quite happy, actually.
00:23Now they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers.
00:30Tonight, I'm demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the border security, homeland security of the United
00:39States,
00:39and also for helping people clean up their snow.
00:44We have no money because of the Democrats, and it would be nice.
00:48We'd love to give you a hand to clean it up, but you gave no money.
00:52Nobody's getting paid. It's a shame.
00:54So you have to think about it.
00:56We have, in case you didn't know, a pretty large snowstorm out there.
00:59One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see
01:05clearly what their representatives really believe.
01:09So tonight, I'm inviting every legislature to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle.
01:16If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support.
01:22The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
01:39As we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market, let's also ensure that members of Congress
01:47cannot corruptly profit from using insider information.
02:12They stood up for that. I can't believe it.
02:18I can't believe it.
02:20Did Nancy Pelosi stand up if she's here?
02:25I doubt it.
02:27Pass the Stop Insider Trading Act without delay.
02:44I wasn't sure if anybody even on this side was going to applaud for that.
02:48I'm very impressed. Thank you.
02:50I'm very impressed.
