“Now is the time to be vigilant at home and to ensure that all of our doors are locked, so to speak,” Johnson said. “And yet, as all this is happening, we have Democrats running around here playing political games in Congress.

Jeffries countered that Republicans are using foreign conflict as leverage.

“Donald Trump launches an unauthorized war in the Middle East,” Jeffries said earlier this week. “He decides that he wants to spend billions of dollars to bomb Iran, rather than spend taxpayer dollars to lower the grocery bills that are crushing the American people, and then wants to use his unauthorized war as an excuse to continue spending taxpayer dollars to brutalize or kill American citizens by continuing to unleash ICE without restriction on the American people? I think it’s ridiculous.”
