Democrats in Congress voted to shut down agencies including CBP, ICE, TSA, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service, and her opponent said on the record that he would continue to uphold that vote.

Overstated

Why we checked itSpecific claim about a congressional vote to shut down multiple federal agencies and opponent's stated position on it — verifiable against legislative record and opponent's public statements.
What we foundDemocrats did vote in ways that led to a DHS shutdown affecting TSA, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service, and Turek said on record he would not support DHS funding without ICE reforms; but the claim that they voted to shut down CBP and ICE is inaccurate, as those agencies were separately funded through reconciliation and largely continued operating.
