January 25, 2019 Trump’s shutdown forced over 3,500 federal workers in Nevada to miss two paychecks, strained our airports, curtailed food inspections, and made it harder for FBI agents to take criminals off our streets.

Las Vegas, NV – Representative Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement in response to the end of the Trump shutdown:
“It took far too long for this senseless Trump tantrum to come to an end,” said Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-1). “Over a month ago, Donald Trump said he would be ‘proud’ to shut down the government. Trump’s shutdown forced over 3,500 federal workers in Nevada to miss two paychecks, strained our airports, curtailed food inspections, and made it harder for FBI agents to take criminals off our streets. Now that the President has finally agreed to sign the bills we’ve passed to re-open the government, I will work with my colleagues to pursue immigration reform that reflects our values and protects our Dreamers. The symbol of America must always be the Statue of Liberty, not an ineffective border wall.”
